Abstract
Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition is a spectrum of diseases, involving the musculoskeletal system. It may be asymptomatic or may manifest with pain, swelling, stiffness, and deformity of the joints. It may lead to secondary osteoarthritis of the joint. Awareness about these conditions is necessary to diagnose it and to differentiate it with other mimicking disorders. The diagnosis is often achieved by clinical manifestations, plain radiographs, and synovial fluid examination. The treatment is often symptomatic by conservative means, but in advanced arthritis, joint replacement may be needed.
