A synchondrosis (or primary cartilaginous joint) is a type of cartilaginous joint where hyaline cartilage completely joins together two bones. [1] Synchondroses are different from symphyses (secondary cartilaginous joints), which are formed of fibrocartilage , and from synostosis (ossified junctions), which is the fusion of two or more bones.

Children whose cranial plates fuse too early may suffer deformities and brain damage as the skull does not expand properly to accommodate the growing brain, a condition known as craniosynostosis. Synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint connected by hyaline cartilage , as seen in the epiphyseal plate .
Synovial osteochondromatosis (SOC) (synonyms include synovial chondromatosis, primary synovial chondromatosis, synovial chondrometaplasia) 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.
The condition is most commonly found in children between the ages of 4 and 10. Common symptoms include pain in the hip, knee, or ankle (since hip pathology can cause pain to be felt in a normal knee or ankle), or in the groin; this pain is exacerbated by hip or leg movement, especially internal hip rotation (with the knee flexed 90°, twisting the lower leg away from the center of the body).
Signs and symptoms [ edit ] People usually complain of pain in one joint, which persists for months, or even years, does not ease with exercise, steroid injection or heat treatment, shows nothing on X-ray , but shows a definite restriction of movement.
In children, symptoms may include: Lesions, hairy patches, dimples, hemangiomas, or fatty tumours on the lower back; Skin manifestation typical of tethered cord syndrome. Foot and spinal deformities [4] Weakness in the legs [4] (loss of muscle strength and tone)
