Ochronotic Arthropathy of the Shoulder – A Rare Case Report
Introduction: Alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder due to accumulation of homogentisic acid, leading to destruction of major joints. Very few cases of ochronosis with shoulder involvement have been reported in literature. Case Report: We report a 31-year-
