Summary
Crystalline arthropathies in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) mimic periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). This case highlights diagnostic challenges and the need for standardized treatment protocols for these rare conditions.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Rheumatology
- Pathology
Background:
- Crystalline arthropathies are common in native knees but rarely reported in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- Distinguishing crystalline arthropathy from periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in TKAs is clinically challenging due to overlapping symptoms.

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...
