Abstract
In
this report, we presented a 49 year-old master athlete with synovial
osteochondromatosis of the knee joint. His main complaints
were pain and limitation of movement. Both intraarticular (posterior
recess) and extraarticular (popliteal bursa, semimembranosus tendon)
involvements were present in the affected knee. He initially refused
the surgery, therefore a conservative treatment was planned. However
symptomatic relief was temporary, and after 2 years he inevitably
experienced arthroscopic surgery. Returning to sports was achieved, but
it was not at previous level. Symptomatic or radiological
recurrence was not observed at 18 months follow-up. The presence of
extraarticular osteochondromatosis in semimembranosus tendon have been
firstly described in the literature
