Abstract:
A 56-year-old man presented with a mass of the right wrist limiting excursion of the digits. Operative exploration demonstrated gouty infiltration of the flexor tendons. The tendons were debrided of the urate crystalline material and the motion of the digits returned, preserving all tendon function. The patient later returned with symptoms of carpal tunnel in the contralateral wrist. Exploration of the carpal tunnel revealed similar infiltration of the flexor tendons. The tendons were debrided and the carpal tunnel syndrome resolved.
