Abstract


The synergy of two arthritides coexistence is very rare. In this paper we describe a 46­‍-year­‍-old patient with psoriatic and gouty arthritis. The pathologies had been developing for a dozen or so years in the ulnar area of both upper limbs. The patient elected to undergo surgical treatment in a very advanced stage of the disease due to increasing psychological discomfort.
