Abstract
Gouty arthritis of the wrist is rare, and may be associated with scapholuna te dissociation. To our knowledge, only two cases have been reported so far . In this report, we describe a 40-year-old patient with scapholunate disso ciation caused by acute gouty arthritis of the wrist. His clinical findings and radiographs mimicked infectious arthritis or osteomyelitis of the carp al bones.
