We report two complications of silicone elastomer finger joint prostheses. In one patient, the prostheses broke, with silicone particles present in synovium ("detritic synovitis"). In another patient, silicone particles were found in an axillary lymph node five years after insertion of prostheses in the ipsilateral hand (prostheses were intact at the time). Microscopically, silicone particles in synovium and lymph node were identical to particles abraded from a new prosthesis.
我们报告了两例硅橡胶弹性体手指关节假体的并发症。在一名患者中，假体断裂，滑膜中存在硅颗粒（“碎屑性滑膜炎”）。在另一名患者中，在同侧手部植入假体五年后，腋窝淋巴结中发现了硅颗粒（当时假体完好无损）。显微镜下，滑膜和淋巴结中的硅颗粒与从新假体磨损下来的颗粒相同。
