Crystal arthropathy is a class of joint disorder (called "arthropathy"), which acid is characterized by accumulation of tiny crystals in one or more joints. Polarizing microscopy and application of other crystallographic techniques have improved identification of different microcrystals including monosodium urate, what is the heterocyclic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen with the formula CHNO?

Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (also known as hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy, Bamberger–Marie syndrome or Osteoarthropathia hypertrophicans) is a medical condition combining clubbing and periostitis of the small hand joints, especially the distal interphalangeal joints and the metacarpophalangeal joints. Distal expansion of the long bones as well as painful, swollen joints and synovial villous proliferation are often seen. The condition may occur alone (primary), or it may be secondary to diseases like lung cancer. It is especially associated with non-small cell lung carcinoma. These patients often get clubbing and increased bone deposition on long bones. Their presenting symptoms are sometimes only clubbing and painful ankles.
