%X Background: Primary synovial chondromatosis commonly involves large joints such as theknee and hip. The optimal approaches for successful surgical management ofsymptomatic primary synovial chondromatosis of the hip joint are controversial.Methods: The current study reviewed 9 patients with primary synovial chondromatosisof the hip who underwent surgical treatment between 2000 and 2005. Byidentification of the surgical indications, we chose the optimal surgicalapproach, open arthrotomy or arthroscopic surgery, for a definite treatment.Results: Of the 9 patients, 4 underwent open arthrotomy and 5 underwent hip arthroscopicsurgery. The mean follow-up duration was 24.9 months (range,12¨C50). There were no perioperative or postoperative complications. Therewas 1 recurrence 2 years after the first arthroscopic surgery. All hipsremained in stationary condition on radiological follow-up except for 1 hip,the recurrence case. The mean Harris Hip Score at the 12-month follow-upwas 93.7 (range, 90¨C99).Conclusions: Surgical treatment for primary synovial chondromatosis of the hip provedbeneficial for these patients. By means of identified indications, selecting anappropriate surgical approach provides a rapid recovery and low incidence ofrecurrence.
