摘要
Surgical management of acute tophaceous gout of the distal interphalangeal joint is often associated with delayed wound healing. Aspiration through neighbouring uninvolved skin is a safe method of treating these tophi. For persistently symptomatic, unstable DIP joints, arthrodesis should be considered.
