Synovial chondromatosis is a rare disorder characterized by cartilaginous growths within the joint lining, often confused with conditions like pigmented villonodular synovitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Primary treatment typically involves surgical synovectomy to remove the affected tissue and loose bodies. Documented cases are limited globally.

Introduction: A form of tenosynovial giant cell tumors (GCTs) that diffusely affects the soft tissue lining of joints and tendons is called pigmented villonodular synovitis or PVNS. About equal percentages of men and women are often affected, and it typically affects young individuals. The most typical sites of PVNS are the knee and ankle, making PVNS of the wrist a rare presentation.

Arthroscopic evaluation of anatomical variations of the oblique popliteal ligament and their association with popliteal cyst formation.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res

Pôle Aixois de Chirurgie Articulaire et Sportive, La Bastide d'Axium, 21, Avenue Alfred Capus, 13090 Aix-en-Provence, France.

Introduction: The posteromedial compartment of the knee houses several important anatomical structures, including the oblique popliteal ligament (OPL), an accessory insertion tendon of the semimembranosus muscle. Popliteal cysts develop from the synovial bursa located between the medial gastrocnemius and the semimembranosus, typically secondary to intra-articular pathologies causing effusion. This study aimed to describe the normal anatomy of the postero-medial capsule of the knee and its anatomical variations, particularly in the presence of popliteal cysts.

Department of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Ospedale Infantile Regina Margherita, University of Turin, Piazza Polonia, 94, 10126 Turin, Italy.

: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferation of synovial tissue that can cause joint damage. The hip, although less commonly affected than the knee, presents a challenging diagnosis and treatment, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the gold standard for detection. Surgical excision, arthroscopic or open, is the main treatment approach, but there is no consensus on the best strategy for the hip.
