Abstract
We describe the arthroscopic tibial tubercle osteophyte debridement and gout crystal clearance for treating Osgood-Schlatter disease combined with gout in patients experiencing anterior knee pain. Preoperative assessment includes medical history review, physical examination, and imaging studies. The surgical procedure involves arthroscopic entry, osteophyte and calcification clearance, and crystal removal. Postoperative rehabilitation allows for full weightbearing, with moderate knee flexion exercises. This approach offers a promising treatment option for patients with Osgood-Schlatter disease and gout, providing new insights into surgical management strategies.
