Abstract:
Gouty arthropathy of the acromioclavicular joint is uncommon, with only two previously reported cases in the literature. The authors report a case in a 54-year-old man. The differential diagnosis of acromioclavicular arthropathy is reviewed, emphasizing that a high index of suspicion and aspiration of joint fluid are needed to make an accurate diagnosis.
