Popis: While gouty arthritis of the knee is not uncommon, associated mechanical block to extension is a rarely seen complication. This report presents a unique case of extension loss due to a single, isolated intra-articular gouty tophus. Only a few similar reports have been described in the literature involving cases that are often initially suspected to be related to inherent structural knee pathology as opposed to a systemic condition or illness.
