Ungew�hnliche Komplikation der Silikonsynovialitis am rheumatischen Handgelenk

Abstract: Silicone synovitis is an important clinical entity recognized in rheumatoid patients after arthroplasties with silicone implants. It is a foreign body reaction to particulate material (silicone elastomer) characterized clinically by the re-occurrence of pain, stiffness and swelling at the site of arthroplasty after initial relief of symptoms. Whereas silicone synovitis is a rare complication in metacarpophalangeal implants, it is an important one in the wrist implant. Long-term follow-up studies have revealed … Show more
