Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis and treatment methods of synovial chondromatosis develop rapidly. Physical examination, CT and MRI are considered as the important methods to diagnose the synovial chondraomatosis, but MRI and CT are more extensively applied in clinical practice. Arthroscopic surgery is a conventional treatment method. The article focuses on the diagnosis and treatment research progress of synovial chondromatosis in recent 5 years and proposes a protocol and suggestions for future research.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the latest progress of diagnosis and treatment of synovial chondromatosis.
METHODS: PubMed and Embase databases from 2012 to 2018 were searched. The keywords were “chondromatosis, synovial, diagnosis, therapy, imaging diagnosis” in English. The research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of synovial chondromatosis were summarized in aspects of physical examination, MRI and arthroscopic surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 569 papers were retrieved and 34 articles eligible for inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. MRI is a common method to diagnose the joint diseases, but due to its false positive rate, we should combine with physical examination to enhance diagnosis rate of synovial chondromatosis. As for the therapy, how to improve clearance rate of tumor still needs further investigation.
