Case Discussion
This is a case of a young male presenting with elbow pain and limited range of motion of the elbow joint in absence of significant degenerative changes suggesting primary synovial chondromatosis.
Primary synovial chondromatosis is usually idiopathic. Secondary synovial chondromatosis is usually related to degenerative changes.
