| Popis: | Objectives: Tenosynovial chondromatosis is an uncommon type of chondro-dysplasia of synovial and connective tissue. We report a case of a patient with a primary right wrist extra-articular chondromatosis extending to the flexor and the extensor compartments. Methods: Until now, there has been no study describing double surgical access for such a case. Results: Due to the extension, two surgical accesses are required to completely remove the neoformation. Conclusions: At 2 years of follow-up, the good functional-clinical results and absence of recurrence confirm the validity of our surgical strategy. |
