| Abstract |
| We report a rare case of synovial osteochondromatosis
in bilateral subacromial bursae. A 73-year-old man presented with
sudden shoulder pain. Roentgenograms showed a large number of calcifications
between the acromial processes, and a greater tuberosity on both
sides. Surgery was performed to remove loose bodies from both sides.
There were 11 in the right subacromial bursa, and 9 in the left.
According to Milgrams staging system, this case was diagnosed as
stage III. A follow-up examination 10 months after the operation
found no recurrence, pain, or limitation of the range of motion on
either side. |
