  • Title: New-onset synovial chondromatosis after total knee arthroplasty.
    Author: Crawford MD, Kim HT.
    Journal: J Arthroplasty; 2013 Feb; 28(2):375.e1-4. PubMed ID: 22704224.
    Abstract:
    Total joint arthroplasty is commonly recommended as a definitive treatment for synovial chondromatosis refractory to other treatment. We describe a unique case of synovial chondromatosis developing after total joint arthroplasty in a patient presenting 5 years after total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. This case illustrates that the diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis cannot be excluded in a patient with chronic, painful swelling of a joint, even after total joint arthroplasty.
