Although not all people with Asymptomatic Hyperuricaemia (AH) develop gout, crystal deposition and sub-clinical joint damage have been observed in this population. Gout most commonly affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1MTP). Existing theories sug...

متن کاملAre ultrasound features at the first metatarsophalangeal joint associated with clinically-assessed pain and function? A study of people with gout, asymptomatic hyperuricaemia and normouricaemia
BACKGROUND The first metatatarsophalangeal joint (1st MTP joint) is a common location for sonographic evidence of urate deposition in people with gout and asymptomatic hyperuricaemia. However, it is unclear whether these are related to clinically-assessed pain and function. This study aimed to determine the association between ultrasound features and clinical characteristics of the 1st MTP join...
متن کاملThe first metatarsophalangeal joint meniscus
An intra-articular ligament of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) has been observed by the authors during dissection for hallux valgus and hallux rigidus corrective surgery over a number of years. The enigmatic incidence and role of this structure prompted further investigation. A literature review was conducted across several scientific databases using the search terms “first metatarso...
