Silicone synovitis is a late complication of silicone implant arthroplasty. The problem is usually heralded by pain and limitation of motion caused by synovitis and bone destruction. Once silicone synovitis develops, secondary procedures include removal of the implant, synovectomy, and reconstructive surgery individualized to the patient's pathology.
