The crystalline arthropathies are a heterogeneous group of biochemical disorders that share the common feature of crystal deposition in and around joints. These metabolic derangements result in a variety of clinical symptoms, radiographic signs, and pathologic abnormalities. The diagnosis of these disorders usually is straightforward when typical articular symptoms are present and characteristic radiographs or joint crystals are obtained. Current concepts regarding crystal-associated arthropathies are reviewed along with a discussion of their often distinctive radiographic appearances.
晶体性关节病是一组异质性的生化紊乱疾病，其共同特征是关节内及周围有晶体沉积。这些代谢紊乱会导致多种临床症状、影像学表现和病理异常。当出现典型的关节症状并获得特征性的X线片或关节晶体时，这些疾病的诊断通常很简单。本文回顾了关于晶体相关性关节病的当前概念，并讨论了它们通常独特的影像学表现。
