Abstract

We describe 2 patients with foreign body synovitis simulating acute septic arthritis. One patient was an 11-year-old boy who developed acute knee swelling due to a penetrating fragment of wood. The other patient was an intravenvous drug abuser in whom silicon was identified in synovial fluid and synovial membrane and whose arthritis improved after complete synovectomy.
