Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Orthopedics
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Presents the first Danish case report of thorn-induced arthritis.
  • Highlights similarities in symptoms and histopathology to international cases.
  • Emphasizes the diagnostic challenge due to delayed or forgotten thorn injury.

Purpose:

  • To report the initial Danish case of thorn-induced arthritis.
  • To describe the clinical and histopathological features of this condition.
  • To underscore the importance of considering thorn injury in unexplained monoarticular arthritis.

Summary:

  • Clinical presentation involves transient synovitis, an asymptomatic interval, and subsequent persistent symptoms.
  • Histopathology reveals granulomatous synovitis.
  • Surgical synovectomy and thorn removal generally lead to complete recovery of joint function.

Impact:

  • Increases awareness of thorn-induced arthritis in clinical practice.
  • Aids in the diagnosis of challenging monoarticular arthritis cases.
  • Provides evidence for effective treatment through prompt surgical intervention.
