Abstract
Synovial chondromatosis is a rare panarticular synovial disease affecting large joints and especially the knee. When the disease is localized in the knee, it affects the anterior compartment. We report the case of a posterior localized disease with a review of the literature focusing on arthroscopic treatment.
