This study introduces a new metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint arthritis treatment using a custom dermal allograft implant. This novel approach aims to improve hand function and reduce complications compared to existing surgical options.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Biomaterials science
- Hand surgery
Background:
- Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint arthritis significantly impairs adult hand function.
- Current surgical treatments like silicone, pyrocarbon, and resurfacing arthroplasties have limitations and complications.
- There is a need for improved surgical options for MCP joint arthritis.
