Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Our study reports a case of a post-traumatic osteochondromatosis of the elbow. The surgical procedure took as an approach the internal way and allowed to remove the large ossified mass and release the elbow. Rehabilitation sessions were undertaken postoperatively. On postoperative return of 6 months, the result was excellent, the elbow having found complete mobility with no recurrence. Osteochondromatosis corresponds to ossification of the nodules of synovial chondromatosis, it is a rare affection, which affects especially the man between 20 and 50 years, it is a monoarticular affection. Some authors believe that partial synovectomy associated with excision prevents recurrence, sarcomatous degeneration is possible, and is reported mainly in the knee.
