A case report of primary synovial chondromatosis of the elbow
2026
Overview
This case is a 37-year-old man with diffuse primary synovial chondromatosis of the elbow, with associated ulnar nerve compression and flexion contracture at the elbow. An open synovectomy with removal of loose bodies and an ulnar nerve decompression with anterior subcutaneous transposition were performed. Postoperatively, the patient’s elbow mobility and nerve compression symptoms improved steadily, which significantly improved his function. Primary synovial chondromatosis of the elbow is a rare disease that can result in pain, swelling, decreased range of motion, and mechanical symptoms. Treatment usually involves synovectomy and removal of loose bodies to address patients’ pain and joint motion.
