Homogenized cartilage promotes urate nucleation, possibly explaining predilection of crystallisation on cartilage.
However, the case for osteoarthritic cartilage being a better template to promote nucleation is not convincing: homogenized cartilage, healthy or diseased, hardly constitutes native cartilage.

Gout incidence is intertwined with serum urate, but only up to a point
SAN DIEGO – An analysis’ findings “[support] a role for additional factors in the pathogenesis of gout,” according to Nicola Dalbeth, MD.

This randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial of early gout (2 or less flares) over 2 years, with attempted treat-to-target of sUA<6mg%, showed Febuxostat to be effective in achieving target sUA, reducing flare rates (evident from 6 months onwards), and MRI-evident synovitis compared to placebo.
However, the Xray-evident erosion progression rates did not differ after 2 years. But that’s hardly as disappointing as the title suggests (“fails to protect from Xray damage”): erosion progression was miniscule in both groups (increase in total modified Sharp score of hands and feet of both groups average <0.2, SD <2).
