Abstract

Since the original recognition of these conditions in 1961, a great deal has been learned about the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and appropriate treatment of gout and pseudogout, and the role of crystals in osteoarthritis has been further defined. The variable manifestations of crystal-induced arthritis in elderly populations has led to a greater need for proper diagnosis and treatment strategies for these increasingly common forms of arthritis.
