Complications include bone destruction, jointdeformities, and, as in the present case, secondary infections. Diagnosis can be made on clinical grounds and confirmed with the visualization of uric acid crystals under light microscopy.[jaoa.org]
Overview Chronic symptoms such as jointdeformity and limitation of motion in affected joints may occur if several attacks of gout occur each year. Uric acid deposits called tophi develop in cartilage tissue, tendons, and soft tissues.[medlineplus.gov]

Clinical trials state that both pegloticase and febuxostat have been effective in the management of tophi, but treatment takes time. Occasionally, when medical treatment fails, surgical intervention becomes necessary to eliminate the tophi.[tandurust.com]
