Two-component surface replacement implants compared with perichondrium transplantation for restoration of metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints: A retrospective cohort study with a mean follow-up time of 6 respectively 26 years
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders Oct 13, 2020
Muder D, et al. - This study was sought to correlate the long-term outcome after perichondrium transplantation and two-component surface replacement (SR) implants to the metacarpophalangeal and the proximal interphalangeal joints. Researchers assessed 163 joints in 124 patients, classified into 138 SR implants in 102 patients, and 25 perichondrium transplantations in 22 patients. Any revision surgery of the index joint was the primary outcome. Applying transplanted perichondrium, resurfacing of finger joints is a technique worth considering since the method has low revision rates in the medium term and compares favorably to SR implants.
