SAGE Open Med Case Rep

Orthopedics Section, Department of Medical Science of Basis, Neuroscience and Organs of Sense, Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, University of Study of Bari, General Hospital, Bari, Italy.

Published: August 2017

Objectives: Tenosynovial chondromatosis is an uncommon type of chondro-dysplasia of synovial and connective tissue. We report a case of a patient with a primary right wrist extra-articular chondromatosis extending to the flexor and the extensor compartments.

Methods: Until now, there has been no study describing double surgical access for such a case.

Results: Due to the extension, two surgical accesses are required to completely remove the neoformation.

Conclusions: At 2 years of follow-up, the good functional-clinical results and absence of recurrence confirm the validity of our surgical strategy.
