“…Several causes of CPPD deposition have been proposed, with its occurrence being classified as either primary (non-traumatic) or secondary (traumatic). Primary deposits are thought to be due to a metabolic cause, such as hyperparathyroidism and haemochromatosis where crystallization occurs within the synovial fluid 2 5 6) . Secondary deposits are more likely to occur in the presence of degenerative knee changes as a result of trauma and surgery 2) .…”

We report a case of an acute pseudogout attack following single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in a 35-year-old man. At the initial reconstruction surgery, he was found to have early degenerative changes mainly in the lateral compartment. He presented with acute onset pain and swelling following reconstruction of the ACL. Arthroscopic irrigation was performed and the synovial fluid was positive for calcium pyrophosphate crystals. A pseudogout attack must be considered in the differential diagnosis in cases of acute onset pain and swelling after arthroscopic surgery, especially with the background of degenerative knee changes, and this may signify a poorer long-term outcome.

“…Interestingly, acute episodes may be triggered by trauma, infection, intra-articular injections, or surgery. [17][18][19] A radiographic survey including AP views of both knees, AP view of the pelvis and symphysis pubis, and PA views of both wrists is highly sensitive and specific for diagnosis of chondrocalcinosis in patients with acute pseudogout attack. 20 Pseudo-osteoarthritis Chronic progressive degeneration of multiple joints with or without acute inflammatory exacerbations may resemble primary osteoarthritis.…”

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease is characterized by the accumulation of pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in articular and periarticular tissues. Various terms have been utilized to describe this arthropathy, which has led to some confusion. CPPD crystal deposition disease is among many conditions that may result in crystal deposition within cartilage. Chondrocalcinosis is a pathologic and radiographic term denoting calcification of cartilage within joints including both hyaline articular cartilage and fibrocartilage. Pseudogout is a clinical term applied to an acute inflammatory process in a joint(s) mimicking a gout attack. Pseudogout is just one of the multiple clinical presentations for CPPD crystal deposition disease. Pyrophosphate arthropathy is a term that has been used to describe the peculiar pattern of joint destruction associated with CPPD crystal deposition disease. This article reviews the protean manifestations of CPPD crystal deposition disease with emphasis on diagnostic imaging.
