  5. 3. Towards better understanding of small joint arthroplasty in the hand. Silicone implants, osseointegrated implants and functional outcome

    Author : Karin Möller; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : artroplasy; MCP; PIP; osseointegration; hand surgery;

    Abstract : Today the most widely used implants for small joint arthroplasty in the hand are flexible silicone implants, introduced by Swanson in the 1960 s. They are encapsulated by connective tissue, which allows pistoning movements in the bone marrow canal This type of implant, mostly used in rheumatic patients, gives high patient satisfaction, relief of pain, correction of deformity and a changed arc of motion towards a more functional position.
