Device typeProximal interphalangeal joint prosthesis, modular: A sterile, implantable artificial substitute for the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint(s) of the hand (finger) which typically has been damaged by rheumatoid, degenerative, or traumatic arthritis. The device typically consists of proximal and distal metal (e.g., titanium) stems, which may be coated with a material (e.g., hydroxyapatite) intended to improve fixation and stability by promoting bone ingrowth, for insertion into the prepared phalanges of the joint. The stems may have articulating surfaces or there may be separate metal [e.g., cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr)] and/or plastic ( e.g., polyethylene) articulating surface components. Dedicated tools for implantation may be included.
