Abstract
- Gout is a clinical syndrome resulting from the deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate. Gouty arthritis is characterized by hyperuricemia and recurrent attacks of typical mono-or polyarthritis. Urate deposition frequently involves the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovial membrane, joint capsule, and periarticular tissues. The first metatarsophalangeal joint is most commonly involved, and other frequently affected joints include the ankle, knee, and tarsal area. However, the hip joint is very rarely affected. We herein report a case of gouty arthritis presenting with hip synovitis diagnosed using ultrasonography.
