“…HA crystals have even been isolated from the joints of children with arthritis. 6 As with HADD, the etiology of HA arthritis is not known. Again, the diagnosis is confirmed by detection of HA and the associated phosphate crystals in the joint aspirate or the synovial membrane by electron microscopy and other techniques described previously.…”

Hydroxyapatite (HA) crystal deposition disease (HADD) is a well-recognized systemic disease of unknown etiology that is caused by para-articular and/or intra-articular deposition of HA crystals. The disease is clinically manifested by localized pain, swelling, and tenderness about the affected joint along with variable limitation of joint motion, although not all patients are symptomatic. Plain radiographs may show calcifications of varying size and shape in the para-articular tendons, bursae, and capsule. The disease may be mono- or polyarticular in distribution. The shoulder is most commonly involved with calcification in the supraspinatus tendon. When intra-articular, HA crystals can cause joint destruction. Any joint can be involved; the shoulder is most commonly affected, resulting in "Milwaukee shoulder." Treatment of HADD usually requires use of analgesics, local heat, needling with or without aspiration of the calcific deposits, steroid injections, and, at times, even surgery for relief of pain.

“…In 1955, HA periarthritis was reported in patients ranging from t3 to 81 years [1] but no details were provided concerning the 13-year-old. Stenstrom described hip calcific periarthritis of unknown etiology in a 4-month-old boy but did not include follow-up information [5]. We now report a case of probable hydroxyapatite induced periarthritis in a 14-year-old girl who had the typical feature of distinct areas of calcification in or around the involved joint which resolved spontaneously.…”
