Alkaptonuria and ochronotic arthropathy
Four cases of operative treatment for ochronosis arthropathy in patients with alcaptonuria are presented. In 3 patients hip joint and in 1 patient knee joint were affected. Prior to surgery all patients were treated conservatively. Two patients successfully underwent total hip replacement. Intertrochanteric femur osteotomy was performed in 1 case. In the fourth patient arthroplasty of knee joint with allograft from rib cartilage failed due to suppurative arthritis resulted in joint resection and arthrodesis.
