Patients were divided into a control group (febuxostat treatment alone) or a combined group (febuxostat combined with arthroscopic surgery). We recorded and analyzed clinical data including age, sex, body mass index, comorbidities, lesion affected joints, acute flare times, medications history, febuxostat side effects, arthroscopic complications, and serum creatinine and uric acid levels changes.Results: There were 80 patients in the control group and 93 patients in the combined group. At the beginning of treatment, the combined group had significantly higher disease severity (higher serum uric acid levels and more acute gout flare times). Arthroscopy was performed in 61 knees and 38 ankles, and 86 joints showed crystals deposition. Compared with baseline, follow-up results showed that serum creatinine significantly decreased in the combined group, and serum uric acid and acute gout flare times significantly decreased in both groups (all p < 0.05). In the comparison between the two groups at the follow-up endpoint, acute gout flare times did not differ significantly (p > 0.05), however, serum creatinine and uric acid levels were lower in the combined group compared with those in the control group (ps < 0.05).Conclusion: Febuxostat combined with arthroscopic debridement of monosodium urate crystal deposition or tophi had a superior effect on lowering uric acid levels and acute flare times in gout patients than did febuxostat alone.Keywords: arthroscopy, febuxostat, crystal deposition, tophi, goutGong ZXia LXu RLuo MDeng HKang ZLiu LLiu YZhang FShi JDove Medical Pressarticlearthroscopyfebuxostatcrystal depositiontophigoutPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
