The form of Arthritis associated with the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints is called gout. It occurs when high levels of uric acid in the blood lead to the accumulation of these crystals, causing inflammation and intense pain in the affected joints. Gout often affects the big toe but can occur in other joints as well. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce pain and lower uric acid levels.
No they are not. An exostosis is the formation of new bone on the surface of a bone. while arthritis relates to joint problems.

JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS was originaly described by George F. Still in 1897. He described several kinds of arthritis characterized by severe systemic symptoms associated with multiple joint involvement
arthritis of the joint
Negative birefringence urate crystals refer to the appearance of uric acid crystals under polarized light microscopy, where they show a characteristic behavior of appearing yellow when aligned with a compensator and blue when perpendicular. This phenomenon is indicative of the crystalline structure of monosodium urate, which is commonly associated with gout. The presence of these crystals in joint fluid can help confirm a diagnosis of gouty arthritis. Their negative birefringence is a key feature that differentiates them from other types of crystals, such as calcium pyrophosphate.
Symptoms of joint effusion is usually caused by arthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and inflammatory arthritis.

This is generally described as arthritis the main culprit would be Osteoarthritis which is a non inflammatory form of arthritis often the result of joint trauma and just plain wear and tear. there is also Rheumatoid arthritis which is a autoimmune disease that destroys connective tissue in the joints and other places and gouty arthritis which is the result of the formation of uric acid crystals in the blood which invade joints and other organs of the body. there are over a hundred different forms of arthritis and to date there is no cure other then remission for any of them. there seem to be genetic links with the majority of them
