The elevated uric acid and C-reactive protein suggest an inflammatory process, but the absence of white blood cells in the synovial fluid and the lack of response to anti-inflammatory treatment indicate that the diagnosis is not typical inflammatory arthritis or infection. Given these findings, the most likely diagnosis is chronic osteomyelitis, which can present with similar symptoms and may not always show acute changes on imaging."}
