Patient outcomes following Swanson silastic metacarpophalangeal joint arthroplasty in the rheumatoid hand: a systematic overview.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of Swanson silastic metacarpophalangeal joint arthroplasty (SMPA) in improving hand function for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS A systematic overview of all published series in the literature on SMPA from 1966 to 1999. RESULTS Research design deficiencies were quite prevalent in the literature on SMPA. However, SMPA was effective in co...
متن کاملExperience with silastic prostheses in rheumatoid hands.
Use of silicone rubber ('Silastic') prostheses for the replacement of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints in rheumatoid arthritis was advocated by Swanson (1969), who considered the overall results of the operation superior to that of all previous surgical techniques. This report presents results of a short-term followup of twelve patients who had silastic MCP implants. Three subjects had joint re...
متن کاملBioreconstructive joint scaffold implant arthroplasty in metacarpophalangeal joints: short-term results of a new treatment concept in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Swanson silicone implant is the "gold standard" of metacarpophalangeal joint reconstruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, durability problems of silicone implants have led us to develop a new technique based on bioreconstructive implants. PLA96 (poly-L,D-lactide copolymer, L:D ratio of 96:4) scaffolds were engineered. Bioabsorption and substitution of porous PLA96 scaffold wit...
متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis of the temporomandibular joints.
Although temporomandibular-joint involvement by rheumatoid arthritis is well recognized, its incidence is unknown. Russel and Bayles (1941) estimated that the temporomandibular joints became involved in 50 per cent. of patients, Ragan (1949) 4 7 per cent., Markowitz and Gerry (1950) 8 *7 per cent., and Einaudi and Viara (1964) 29 3 per cent in 260 rheumatoid arthritics. These variations may be ...
متن کاملWhy does rheumatoid arthritis involve the joints?
A long-standing question in rheumatology is why inflammatory arthritides such as rheumatoid arthritis involve the joints. Many studies have addressed this question; a recent article by Lee et al.1 provides a new answer that is both obvious and intriguing. Rheumatoid arthritis affects the joints because of the essential role of the synovium in regulating inflammation. The normal synovial membran...
