Core Tip	Synovial chondromatosis (SC) of the ankle and foot is a particularly rare, benign pathology. Despite etiology remaining unknown, it can severely impair common daily activities of affected patients, because of severe pain and limitation of joint motion. Surgical treatment should be performed in patients with Milgram’s stage III primary ankle SC. Earlier surgery should be limited to primary SC of the foot only, because of the higher frequency of subsequent degenerative pathology.
