Silicone and Pyrocarbon Artificial Finger Joints

Abstract: Artificial finger joint design has been developed through different stages through the past. PIP (proximal interphalangeal) and MCP (metacarpophalangeal) artificial finger joints have come to replace the amputation and arthrodesis options; although, these artificial joints are still facing challenges related to reactive tissues, reduced range of motion, and flexion and extension deficits. Swanson silicone artificial finger joints are still common due to the physician’s preferability of silicone with the dorsal… Show more

“…Thus, the plane exhibited large stress without maximum strain. This plane matched the position where the stem is inserted in the medullary canal, a similar constraint restricting deformation occurs, and implant failure occurs [ 30 32 ]. However, the precise contact model between the stem and the medullary canal was excluded in the present FE analysis.…”

“…To date, silicone remains the mainstay of arti cial nger joint replacements [6][7][8], although other materials such as pyrolytic carbon metal joints [9,10] have also been used. Swanson silastic nger joints have been used since the 1960s, especially in patients with rheumatoid or degenerative arthritis, with good short-term results.…”
