Abstract:
This case is a report of arthroscopically diagnosed synovial chondromatosis and pigmented villonodular synovitis in the same elbow. A literature review found no prior reports of an association of these entities. Arthroscopy appears to be effective in the management of pigmented villonodular synovitis and synovial chondromatosis in the elbow.
