Synovial chondromatosis is a rare condition of unknown aetiology. A literature search was performed to identify studies describing outcome after surgical treatment of synovial chondromatosis of the hip. Thirteen studies including two hundred-ninety patients could be included. Mean follow-up was fifty-six months. Seven out of two hundred-ninety developed a complication after surgical resection of the lesion. Recurrence rate of synovial chondromatosis is about 19%. Malignant transformation of synovial chondromatosis to chondrosarcoma is extremely rare. No wound infections were reported and avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurred in one patient who was treated with dislocation of the hip during surgery. After resection of synovial chondromatosis excellent functional outcome can be expected.
