Q&A
Is this prostheses designed for use in patients who have significant scaphotrapezial trapezoidal arthritis?
No, only for patients with localized arthritis at the base of the thumb.
Would there be a problem with Pyrocarbon-on-bone articulation?
No, pyrocarbon is the bone-friendly material for pyrocarbon-on-bone articulation (cyclic wear tests shows this and the elastic modulus of pyrocarbon matches closely to that of cortical bone)
