Interphalangeal hand joint implant

Interphalangeal prosthesis are designed to replicate the anatomic joint surfaces, preserve bone and minimize disruption to the collateral ligament origins and insertions. The kinematic behavior closely mimics that of a normal joint when the soft tissues are well preserved. The TI6AI4V (Grade 5) surface articulates to form a semi-constrained prosthetic replacement for the proximal interphalangeal joint. The implant is available in five sizes, each of which can be used in right or left hands. A range of trial sizers for each type of implant is available to aid in bone preparation. The PIP is approved for use with or without cement. Therefore it is cement optional.
