Sparing effect of hemiplegia on tophaceous gout

J J Glynn et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 1976 Dec.

Abstract

The sparing effect of hemiplegia on the development of tophaceous gout is described. The useless upper limb had no tophaceous deposits and the partially paralysed lower limb had only limited urate deposits. Disuse was presumably the major contributor to the limited deposition of urates on the paralysed side.
