Efficacy Analysis of Arthroscopic Treatment of Synovial Chondromatosis of the Knee: A Retrospective Study of More Than Five Years.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The synovial chondromatosis is an exceptionally rare benign condition, predominantly found in the knee joint, and can result in pain, restricted mobility, and potential irreversible damage to the joint and cartilage.
