Endoscopic Decompression of Olecranon Tophus

The olecranon bursa is very commonly involved in tophaceous gout because of the tendency of monosodium urate crystals to deposit in superficial structures with low temperatures. Surgery is indicated if the olecranon tophus is recalcitrant to medical treatment. Open surgery requires a long incision o...

description The olecranon bursa is very commonly involved in tophaceous gout because of the tendency of monosodium urate crystals to deposit in superficial structures with low temperatures. Surgery is indicated if the olecranon tophus is recalcitrant to medical treatment. Open surgery requires a long incision over the tophus and may lead to wound complications. Endoscopic debridement of the tophus can reduce the risk of wound complications. In this Technical Note, the technical details of endoscopic decompression of an olecranon tophus are described. This endoscopic technique also allows debridement of tophus infiltration of the triceps tendon.
