Abstract
We report the development of scapholunate ligament rupture after episodes of gout in 2 patients and in association with chondrocalcinosis in another. One patient required surgical fusion for alleviation of pain. The diagnosis should be considered in patients with prolonged wrist pain refractory to conventional therapies for crystal induced arthritis.
