ABSTRACT

The formation of gout stone can affect the appearance of local skin, and in severe cases, it can lead to skin breakdown, bone destruction, joint deformity, or even fracture, which aggravates the physical and mental burden of patients and has a severe impact on their daily life and work. This paper analyzes the surgical treatment of a case of generalized multiple gout stones in our hospital; after three surgeries, the gout stones were excised with a total of 985.6 g. The patient's uric acid was reduced to the normal range after the surgery, the skin at the ulcerated area was repaired, the joint function and appearance were improved obviously, and the patient regained the ability of self-care.
