Synovial chondromatosis of the acromioclavicular joint. A case report.
Synovial chondromatosis involving the acromioclavicular joint occurred in a 20-year-old woman. Synovectomy including removal of loose bodies and resection of the distal end of the clavicle relieved symptoms. Synovial chondromatosis is a relatively rare disorder and seems not to have been reported in the acromioclavicular joint.
