Summary:Skelite, a silicon-stabilized tricalcium phosphate-based bone substitute, is a synthetic alternative to the autogenous bone graft. We present a foreign body inflammatory reaction resulting in extensive osteolysis that occurred after use of Skelite as a void filler in the surgical reconstruction of a distal radius fracture.
