    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Digital implant arthroplasty has been performed since 1977.
    • Evaluating long-term outcomes and complication rates is crucial for establishing surgical efficacy.

    Observation:

    • Approximately 1000 digital implant arthroplasties have been performed.
    • A low removal rate of only 10 cases was observed.

    Findings:

    • The primary reasons for removal were infection (8 cases) and trauma (2 cases).
    • The overall complication ratio is considered minimal, suggesting a high success rate.

    Implications:

    • Digital implant arthroplasty is a viable alternative to resection arthroplasty or digital arthrodesis.
    • The procedure is recommended for selected patients requiring digital joint reconstruction.
