Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis of the hip is a rare benign condition characterized by multiple intraarticular loose bodies. We report the case of a fourteen-year-old child with Down syndrome who suffered symptomatic synovial chondromatosis of the hip, treated by means of arthrotomy and intraoperative radiological assessment to confirm the removal of all loose bodies.
The literature about treatment options is reviewed, and controversial points of this condition are discussed.
