Abstract
- Tophaceous gout, which is usually presented in the synovial fluid, bursal lining, cartilage or other soft tissues, may cause a non-outlet impingement in the rotator cuff and bursa. In chronic tophaceous gout patient with the shoulder pain, a surgeon should consider the possibility of the tophaceous gout of the rotator cuff. We report a surgical experience of a 50-year-old man with tophaceous gout of the rotator cuff causing impingement syndrome. The patient was treated successfully with arthroscopic debridement and subacromial decompression.
