Abstract

Summary: A 55-year-old man developed acute symptoms suggestive of a late, deep infection 8 years after uncomplicated open reduction and internal fixation of fractures to the left ulnar and radial shafts. At the time of surgical debridement, tophaceous material was found surrounding the radial plate. Acute tophaceous gout surrounding fracture fixation devices has not been previously reported and is difficult to distinguish from a deep infection.
