“…A similar implant, covered with polythene, was developed and generalized; but it was abandoned due to hinge problem [6]. Total prosthesis was developed later and loosening problems were observed [27]. These problems accelerated the resort to utilization of fascia and tendon structures as an alternative interpositional material.…”

“…The wear debris from CSE is too large to be phagocytosed and is unimportant in the mechanism of particulate synovitis [13]. The incidence of silicone particulate synovitis is much lower in the trapezium than in any other carpal implants and very rare around flexible hinges [14,15].…”

“…In a review of failed silicone carpal bone arthroplasties, Swanson et al (1989) stated that, ''good results have usually followed revision surgery''. However, Conolly and Rath (1993) reported only 50% good results after removal of failed silicone prostheses and salvage with a soft tissue stabilization procedure using the abductor pollicis longus tendon.…”
