This case series reviews 2 patients worked up and treated for unilateral synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The first was a 58-year-old female evaluated and treated for synovial chondromatosis of the left TMJ using an arthrotomy of the joint to remove the cartilaginous and osteocartilaginous nodules. The second is a 63-year-old male who was evaluated and treated for synovial chondromatosis of the right TMJ with the removal of extracapsular masses and an arthrotomy with intra-joint removal of nodules. Six-year radiographic follow-up demonstrated no recurrence of the pathology in his case. The cases are reviewed in this article, along with a current review of the literature.

Reichel syndrome or primary synovial chondromatosis (PSC) is an uncommon benign metaplastic condition that usually affects large joints. Though shoulder involvement was scarce, there are only a few cases in the pediatric population. A 14- year-old boy was admitted to the Pediatric Orthopedics department with right shoulder pain for 14 months.

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon, progressive, benign condition favoring synovial metaplasia resulting from the production of cartilaginous tissue as loose bodies within the joints. In rare cases, it can affect the interior of the shoulder joint and present with pain, edema, and impaired mobility. The diagnosis is challenging, requiring imaging techniques.

Article Synopsis
- - Tenosynovitis with psammomatous calcifications (TPC) is a rare, non-cancerous condition that often affects women and is thought to result from repetitive use or trauma, commonly appearing at sites like the hands, feet, and wrists.
- - In a study involving 18 new cases, most patients presented with painful masses, and imaging often showed benign characteristics, but many of these cases were misdiagnosed as more serious conditions like gout or tumors.
- - Follow-up on patients (mostly for around 30 months) showed no local recurrences after surgical removal, highlighting the necessity for greater awareness among medical professionals regarding TPC.
Revision hip arthroscopy for hip synovial chondromatosis is effective despite inferior postoperative clinical outcomes compared to patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy: a matched control study with minimum 2-year follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes after revision arthroscopy for hip synovial chondromatosis (SC) and to compare these outcomes with those from primary hip arthroscopy patients.
- Researchers reviewed data from patients who underwent hip arthroscopy between December 2014 and January 2021, focusing on those diagnosed with SC and meeting specific criteria.
- Results showed both revision and primary surgery groups improved significantly postoperatively, but revision patients had worse outcomes in key pain and function scores compared to primary patients.
