Case Report: Synovial chondromatosis in sport climbers fingers
With the rapid development in sport climbing there has been a rise in the intensity, volume and variety of training, which may be the key factors contributing to the spectrum of injuries associated with climbing. Hand and finger climbing related injuries are well documented, however the incidental discovery of this rare condition warrants its inclusion as another differential diagnosis in the spectrum of climbing related pathologies. At the moment, not enough is understood about FSC and its long-term consequences therefore further analysis is warranted for future studies.
