Pseudogout or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPD) can be a significant cause of morbidity among many patients. The pathophysiology involves the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals and can be confused with degenerative osteoarthritis. Treatment is usually with NSAIDs. There has been little documentation relating CPPD to joint replacement surgery. We present a case report of a patient who underwent staged, bilateral total shoulder arthroplasty and was found to have pseudogout.
假性痛风或焦磷酸钙二水合物沉积病（CPPD）可能是许多患者发病的重要原因。其病理生理学涉及焦磷酸钙二水合物晶体的积累，可能与退行性骨关节炎混淆。治疗通常使用非甾体抗炎药。关于CPPD与关节置换手术的相关文献很少。我们报告一例患者，该患者接受了分期双侧全肩关节置换术，术后被发现患有假性痛风。
