Local Tissue Damage as a Possible Trigger to Giant Cell’s Inflammatory Response and Failure Following Trapezectomy and Interposition of Polylactic Acid Arex Trapezium Implant: A Case Report.
Polylactic acid (PLA) braid rolled on itself AREX trapezium implant is a part of surgical treatment in patients with Eaton type III-IV of trapeziometacarpal joint (TM) osteoarthritis. The foreign body reaction composed of macrophages and foreign body giant cells is the end-stage of the inflammatory responses following implantation of the PLA prosthesis. Prolonged resorptive giant cells immune inflammatory response, leading the patients to undergo revision surgery for removal of the implant before the end of the third p... view more»
