Although arthroscopic removal is the usual treatment for intra-articular tophi, surgery is not always an option. This Case Study demonstrates that continuous urate-lowering therapy is a suitable alternative: in a 67-year-old man, painful locking of the knee secondary to intra-articular tophi was alleviated following continuous allopurinol therapy. Resolution of the tophi was demonstrated by CT.
