Synovial Chondromatosis of the Metacarpophalangeal JointFrom the Department of Musculoskeletal Surgery, Charing Cross Hospital, London, UK Correspondence: Mr Jagdeep Nanchahal, Dept of Musculoskeletal Surgery, Imperial College School of Medicine, Fulham Palace Road, London W6 8RF, UK. E-mail: j.nanchahal{at}ic.ac.uk We describe a case of synovial chondromatosis in a metacarpophalangeal joint with invasion of local structures. The degree of local tissue involvement was not demonstrated on the preoperative MRI scans. This case highlights that synovial chondromatosis can be invasive and that even the best preoperative imaging may not demonstrate this.
