Abstract
Destructive joint arthropathics and connective tissue diseases are often associated with the presence of crystalline deposits. One such deposit is hydroxyapatite; a mineral frequently observed in the articular and intra-articular cartilage of patients suffering from acute synovitis or more progressive arthropath ics, for example osteoarthritis. Other, more extensive deposits are common in connective tissue diseases, such as systemic sclerosis.
