Core Tip	Recurrent knee effusion in cases of chronic knee gouty arthritis (KGA) that are refractory to conservative treatment should alert surgeons to the possibility of synovial structural alteration, such as synovial hyperplasia. Diagnostic arthroscopy should be considered in these cases to allow a definitive diagnosis. In our case, tophi deposition and excessive synovial membrane thickening were observed intraoperatively. Therefore, partial synovectomy was performed to address the excessive synovial tissue. At six months, no further episode of recurrent knee effusion. These findings suggest that an arthroscopic synovectomy was effective in managing synovial hyperplasia in the case of chronic KGA.
