520 |a Background: Tophaceous gout affecting the olecranon region can result in local discomfort, skin ulceration, secondary infection, and considerable disability if left untreated. However, there are limited reports of outcomes, including postoperative complications and recurrence after surgical excision of tophaceous gout deposits at the elbow. The aim of this study is to present our surgical technique and minimum one-year outcomes after surgical excision of tophaceous gout involving the elbow 
520 |a Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients from a single surgeon's practice who underwent surgical excision of gouty tophi of the elbow between January 2016 and December 2019. The indications for surgical excision of tophi included failure of medical management, presence of skin ulceration, and/or large gouty tophi. The relevant data pertaining to patient demographics, preoperative findings, intraoperative findings, surgical pathology reports, and short-term postoperative complications were collected through retrospective chart review. Patients were subsequently contacted for a follow-up telehealth visit to assess recurrence of gouty tophi, functional outcomes, and range of motion (ROM) measurements 
520 |a Results: Six male patients underwent 7 total procedures (1 bilateral elbow) during the study period. The mean age of the cohort at the time of surgery was 56.0 ± 7.1 years (range: 45.3-63.5). The mean size of the swelling in 2 maximum dimensions was 5.8 × 3.4 cm. There were no intraoperative or immediate postoperative wound complications. There was no recurrence of gouty tophi at a mean follow-up time of 30.8 months (range: 14.0-43.5). Patients reported physiologic ROM (mean flexion-extension arc of 2°-134°) with no pain at final follow-up 
520 |a Conclusion: Surgical treatment of tophaceous gout of the elbow is associated with a low risk of wound complication and recurrence
