Abstract		Backgraund. The authors report on a case of aseptic synovitis of the knee joint which developed after arthroscopic fixation of intercondylar eminence fracture with a cannulated screw and washer. Although the osteosynthetic material (OSM) they used is known to be immunologically inert, histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a foreign-body type reactive synovitis. Arthroscopic removal of OSM was followed by regression of inflammation fracture healing and return of the knee joint function to the pre-injury level. Conclusions. When using OSM for intraarticular fixation, the risk of aseptic synovitis due to foreign-body reaction should always be borne in mind.
Summary		Izhodišče. Opisujemo primer aseptičnega sinovitisa kolena po artroskopski metodi anterogradne fiksacije zloma interkondilarne eminence s kaniliranim vijakom in podložko. Kljub imunološki inertnosti uporabljenega osteosintetskega materiala (OSM) patohistološki izvid biopsije sinovije govori za odziv sinovije na tujo snov. Po artroskopski odstranitvi OSM se je vnetje umirilo, zlom zarasel, funkcija kolenskega sklepa pa povrnila v stanje pred poškodbo. Zaključki. Pri uporabi OSM v sklepih je upravičeno pomisliti na možnost aseptičnega sinovitisa kot posledica reakcije na tujek.
