Foreign-Body Granuloma after Metacarpal Fracture Treatment with Absorbable Implants
The treatment of unstable fractures or complex injuries of the hand frequently requires the implementation of rigid internal fixation. Traditionally, metallic implants have been used to achieve stability. However, the complication rates of metallic implants are high, with major complications reported in 36% of the patients considered in a series [1]. These complications included nonunion, delay...
متن کاملOsteolytic changes accompanying degradation of absorbable fracture fixation implants.
We analysed the radiographs of 67 patients with displaced malleolar fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation using absorbable polyglycolide rods. Seventeen patients developed a discharging inflammatory foreign-body reaction, a complication unique to these fixation devices. In 34 patients ovoid osteolytic foci, usually 5 to 10 mm in diameter, appeared within the implant channels...
متن کاملForeign-body reactions to fracture fixation implants of biodegradable synthetic polymers.
Biodegradable rods of polyglycolide or lactide-glycolide copolymer were used in the internal fixation of a variety of fractures and osteotomies in 516 patients. A clinically manifest foreign-body reaction occurred in 41 patients (7.9%), producing a fluctuant swelling at the implantation site after an average of 12 weeks. Spontaneous sinus formation or surgical drainage yielded a sterile exudate...
متن کاملForeign Body Response to Subcutaneous Implants in Diabetic Rats
Implantation of synthetic matrices and biomedical devices in diabetic individuals has become a common procedure to repair and/or replace biological tissues. However, an adverse foreign body reaction that invariably occurs adjacent to implant devices impairing their function is poorly characterized in the diabetic environment. We investigated the influence of this condition on the abnormal tissu...
