Finger Joint Replacements

Finger joint replacements are synthetic manufactured treatment options for certain stiff and non functioning finger joints. Jeoints can be stiff from trauma or from arthritic conditions which cause wear and erosion of the cartilage gliding surface. Once bone to bone contact occurs in joint motion, an inflammation is setup and this causes pain, swelling and crepitus. Prosthetic implants are suitable for selected joint deformities and patients.
