The reported complications of long-term implantation of a silicone replacement include fracture, dislocation, synovitis, lymphadenitis and subchondral res...
متن کاملExperimental cryo-irrigation of the knee joint.
Experiments have been carried out to test the feasibility of using cryo-irrigation as a means of ablating the synovium in the rheumatoid knee joint. Cryo-irrigation was performed by a cooling machine and pump, which circulated cold 200/10 centistoke (cSt) silicone through the knee joint of rabbits anaesthetised with intravenous (IV) 'Saffan'.

متن کاملTrapezium prosthetic arthroplasty (silicone, Artelon, metal, and pyrocarbon).
Trapezium prosthetic arthroplasty has been utilized to treat basal joint arthritis for nearly five decades in an attempt to mitigate some of the potential disadvantages of trapeziectomy while preserving range of motion. Implant arthroplasty seeks to preserve joint biomechanics, avoids metacarpal subsidence, and should provide immediate stability. These benefits may lead to improvements in stren...

متن کاملConnective tissue diseases following silicone breast implantation: where do we stand?
Silicone, which is considered biologically inert, has been used in many different types of medical devices, including tubing; breast, joint and penile implants; artificial heart valves; and intraocular lenses, among others. After a silicone implant is placed, a mild reaction to the foreign body is generally observed, followed by encapsulation (1). Case reports of women with silicone breast impl...
