Abstract Objective: To explore the value of high-frequency ultrasound images in diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis. Methods: The ultrasonic image characteristics of 23 patients(a total of 27 joint) with synovial chondromatosis confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Within the 27 joints diagnosed by preoperative ultrasound, 20 cases were diagnosed as synovial chondromatosis, 3 cases were diagnosed as simple synovitis, 1 case was diagnosed as degenerative joint disease with loose bodies, 3 cases were diagnosed as pigmented villonodular synovitis. The accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis was 74.1%(20/27). Conclusion: The examination of high-frequency ultrasound can be used as the preferred method to diagnose synovial chondromatosis. And it plays an important role in the diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis.
