Synovial chondromatosis is a rare condition of unclear etiology in which foci of cartilage develop in the synovial membrane of joints, bursae, or tendon sheaths as a result of metaplasia of the subsynovial connective tissue. These nodules can detach and become loose bodies within the joint, which may undergo secondary calcification and ossification
