Ochronosis, arthroscopy of a black knee: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Ochronotic arthropathy is a rare condition found in patients with alkaptonuria. Due to the accumulation of homogentisic acid, cartilages get a dark discoloration and become brittle and more vulnerable to mechanical stress (Centinus et al. Rheumatol Int 3:127-131, 2004; Hamdi et al. Int Orthop 23:122-125, 1999; Phornphutkul, N Engl J Med 347:2111-2121, 2002; Thacker, Arthroscopy 19:14-17, 2003). This case report is about a patient first diagnosed for ochronosis by arthroscopy of the knee. Her brother was having… Show more

“…The diagnosis of ochronosis is usually made in a middle-aged patient (40s and older) with a triad of degenerative joint disease, ochronotic pigmentation of the sclera and skin and the characteristic urine changes. 3,5,6) The skeletal system is predominantly involved, although other systems, including cardiovascular and urinary systems, may also be affected. The natural history of ochronotic arthropathy is known to be of relentless progression, sometimes rapid, that eventually leads to destruction of the joint.…”
