Additional Information for Finger Joint Implant
Finger joint implants are medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to replace damaged or diseased finger joints. These implants are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and fall under the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Finger joint implants are typically made of biocompatible materials such as metal alloys or high-grade plastics. They are designed to mimic the natural movement and function of the finger joint, providing stability and restoring joint mobility.
These implants are used in procedures such as finger joint arthroplasty or joint replacement surgery. They are used to treat conditions such as arthritis, joint deformities, or severe finger injuries that cannot be effectively managed with conservative treatments.
During the surgery, the damaged or diseased joint is removed, and the finger joint implant is inserted to replace it. The implant is securely fixed to the surrounding bone using screws or other fixation methods. This helps to restore joint function, reduce pain, and improve overall hand function.
Finger joint implants come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient needs and anatomical variations. The choice of implant depends on factors such as the patient's age, activity level, and the specific joint being replaced.
It is important to note that the use of finger joint implants is a specialized procedure that requires the expertise of a trained orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon will assess the patient's condition and determine if a finger joint implant is the appropriate treatment option.
Overall, finger joint implants are valuable medical devices used in orthopedic surgery to restore finger joint function and improve the quality of life for patients with finger joint problems.
