Summary
This program provides a special finger joint implant for people with arthritis in the finger's middle joint. It is for those who have had a previous implant fail or who cannot use other implants due to heavy hand use. The goal is to relieve pain and improve function. This is not a research study but a way to make the device available under FDA rules.
