Abstract:
The possibility of detecting hydroxyapatite crystals in synovia in a routine setting has been studied prospectively. Coloration of the crystals with alizarin red-S was the method of choice. The diagnostic results were markedly improved by simultaneous observation of a freshly prepared positive control synovia.
