Synchronous Primary Synovial Chondromatosis of the Hip: An Integrated Perspective on Physiotherapeutic Support.

ABSTRACT

abstract Primary synovial chondromatosis of the hip is a rare joint condition characterized by the abnormal proliferation of cartilaginous tissue within the synovial membrane, which leads to the formation of clusters of chondrocytes floating in the joint space. This commentary provides a comprehensive overview of the pathology, including symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options and long-term management. Patients with primary synovial chondromatosis complaint pain and functional impairment, together with a peculiar joint popping sensation during movement, so determining early disability. The early treatment can lead to better clinical outcomes, with increased preservation of joint function and reduced risk of long-term disability, but strictly depend on symptoms acknowledgement and proper imaging interpretation. As a chronic pathology, surgical approach must necessarily be part of a larger medical and rehabilitative care planning, with long period follow-up. Multidisciplinary team management, with the active involvement of the patient is pivotal in improving the clinical outcomes and quality of life.
