Reichel syndrome otherwise called as synovial osteochondromatosis is a rare disease that creates a benign change or proliferation in the synovium or joint-lining tissue, which changes to form bone forming cartilage. Many treatment options like an open synovectomy with removal of the loose bodies, removal of the loose bodies only, a radical synovectomy, an arthroscopic synovectomy with removal of the loose bodies and total hip replacement with radical synovectomy have been reported in various literatures.
