Abstract:
Objective To evaluate imaging diagnostic value of synovial osteochondromatosis.Methods Imaging features of synovial osteochondromatosis proved by surgery,arthroscopy and pathology in 39 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Results The lesions involving thejoints included knee in 11 cases,hip in 10,ankle in 7,shoulder in 8 and elbow in 3,and multiple joints involved in 5 cases.The loose bodies inside the joints or parajoints with different number,size,shape and calcification were seen on radiography.CT(25 cases) was superior to X-ray in showing these loose bodies and also could showed the thickened synovial membranes intra-articular effusion.MRI(30 cases)not only could showed the non-calcification cartilage nodules,but also the changes of soft tissue around the joints,the thickened synovial membranes and articular effusion,and could make the staging of this disease.Conclusion Imaging examination is of significant value in diagnosing synovial osteochnodromatosis and for clinical procedures.
