[Substitution of an injured finger joint by silicone rubber prosthesis].
Between 1973 and the first semester of 1975, on the injured and destroyed digital articulation 27 patients have been operated on by means silicon rubber prosthesis of Swanson type. The prosthesis plasty and the field of its use are shortly resumed, pointing out the importance of its adaptation on the injured articulation. The operative technique is described, as well as the results obtained and the aspects of the evaluation are discussed. The results obtained with the silicon rubber prosthesis are very promising. In the case of failure arthrodesis may be performed at any time.
