Synovial chondromatosis is a rare condition consisting of metaplasia of the synovial tissue that usually presents in large joints such as the knee and hip. The reported occurrence of synovial chondromatosis in the foot and ankle joints is rare in the literature. In this case report, the successful surgical management of two patients presenting with this condition using open ankle arthrotomy & synovectomy is described. These two cases are presented to provide added depth to the current literature, as well as presenting a review of published literature to further guide clinicians in the management of this rare condition. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 (case study).
滑膜软骨瘤病是一种罕见的疾病，由滑膜组织的化生引起，通常发生在膝关节和髋关节等大关节。文献中很少报道足部和踝关节的滑膜软骨瘤病。在本病例报告中，我们成功地采用踝关节切开术和滑膜切除术对两名患有这种疾病的患者进行了手术治疗。这两个病例的报告增加了目前文献的深度，并对已发表的文献进行了回顾，以进一步指导临床医生对这种罕见疾病的管理。证据水平：4（病例研究）。
