In this case report, we present a rare case of a female patient who developed pain and swelling after a total knee arthroplasty. An extensive diagnostic workup including serum and synovial testing to rule out infection was performed in addition to advanced imaging including an MRI of the knee, but it was only after an arthroscopic synovectomy that the diagnosis of secondary synovial chondromatosis was confirmed. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the occurrence of secondary synovial chondromatosis as a rare cause of pain and swelling after total knee arthroplasty, thereby assisting clinicians in providing prompt diagnosis, surgical treatment, and efficient recovery in the setting of secondary synovial chondromatosis after total knee arthroplasty.
在本病例报告中，我们呈现了一例罕见的女性患者，该患者在全膝关节置换术后出现疼痛和肿胀。除了包括膝关节磁共振成像（MRI）在内的高级影像学检查外，还进行了广泛的诊断性检查，包括血清和滑膜检测以排除感染，但直到关节镜下滑膜切除术之后，继发性滑膜软骨瘤病的诊断才得以证实。本病例报告的目的是强调继发性滑膜软骨瘤病作为全膝关节置换术后疼痛和肿胀的罕见原因的发生情况，从而帮助临床医生在全膝关节置换术后继发性滑膜软骨瘤病的情况下能够迅速做出诊断、进行手术治疗并实现有效康复。
