Abstract
Metal allergy remains a complex and poorly understood situation in surgical implants. The largest cohort (published in 2024) of metal hypersensitivity after upper limb prosthesis is limited to a dozen patients. The other series refer to case reports, and there is no description of metal hypersensitivity in wrist arthroplasty. It is important to consider metal allergies, particularly in painful patients with functional, well-positioned implants. In hand surgery, the use of pyrocarbon implants as a first-line treatment in patients at risk of allergy, or after removal of a poorly tolerated prosthesis, could be an effective solution. In this case report, we report on our experience in the management of metal hypersensitivity in a patient undergoing prosthetic wrist and trapeziometacarpal joint replacement surgery. LEVEL OF INCIDENCE: 4.
期刊介绍：
Qu''elle soit réparatrice après un traumatisme, pratiquée à la suite d''une malformation ou motivée par la gêne psychologique dans la vie du patient, la chirurgie plastique et esthétique touche toutes les parties du corps humain et concerne une large communauté de chirurgiens spécialisés.
Organe de la Société française de chirurgie plastique reconstructrice et esthétique, la revue publie 6 fois par an des éditoriaux, des mémoires originaux, des notes techniques, des faits cliniques, des actualités chirurgicales, des revues générales, des notes brèves, des lettres à la rédaction.
Sont également présentés des analyses d''articles et d''ouvrages, des comptes rendus de colloques, des informations professionnelles et un agenda des manifestations de la spécialité.
