Article Synopsis
  • Synovial chondromatosis, or Reichel syndrome, is a rare condition affecting monoarticular joints, characterized by the growth of cartilage and the formation of small calcified loose bodies within the joint.
  • The condition can lead to severe joint dysfunction if untreated, commonly impacting larger joints like the knee and hip, but sometimes affecting smaller joints like those in the fingers.
  • A case study of a 60-year-old woman with pain and swelling in her finger led to surgical intervention, which successfully removed the calcified loose bodies, followed by rehabilitation to restore motion.
