Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Urate Crystal Deposition in Tendons With Gout Patients
Tendons are common sites of urate deposition in patients with gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Aggregates and tophi are frequently observed in and around large tendons such as the quadriceps, patellar, and Achilles tendons in gout patients. Ultrasonography proves useful in highly sensitive and specific evaluation of urate deposition within and around tendons.
