case_images: Preoperative plain radiographs of the right foot and ankle showing calcified synovial chondromatosis lesions (loose bodies) in the anterior part of the ankle, indicated by red arrows. Loose bodies, which appear as discrete calcified densities, are seen in A) Anteroposterior (AP) view, (B) Lateral view, and C) Oblique view.

case_images: Preoperative MRI of the right foot and ankle showing synovial chondromatosis lesions (loose bodies) in the anterior part of the ankle, indicated by red arrows. The loose bodies appear as low-signal intensity structures within the joint space on MRI, consistent with calcified or ossified tissue. (A) Axial view, (B) Coronal view, (C) Sagittal view. These findings represent intra-articular fragments characteristic of synovial chondromatosis.

case_images: Postoperative plain radiographs of the right foot and ankle 1 week after surgical removal of loose bodies. No residual calcified synovial chondromatosis lesions are observed. (A) Anteroposterior (AP) view, (B) Lateral view. The images demonstrate a clear joint space without evidence of remaining intra-articular fragments.
