A new study in the Journal of Wound Management explored whether sampling ulcer debris and using polarised-light microscopy to detect urate crystals can help identify previously unrecognised tophaceous gout in patients with type 2 diabetes and foot ulcers.

🔹 Among 36 ulcer-debris samples, urate crystals were found in 14% of cases, suggesting undiagnosed gout may be more common than assumed
🔹 The method involves simple sampling during routine wound debridement, offering a practical and low-cost approach
🔹 Recognising gout as a contributing factor could influence treatment strategies and potentially improve healing outcomes
