Experiences with a Finger-Joint Prosthesis
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1959A metal, hinged type of prosthesis has been developed for irreparably damaged joints of the finger in selected cases, as an alternative to amputation or arthrodesis. This operation, a procedure of salvage, is performed in the hope of restoring some degree of useful function in an otherwise useless part.

ASAIO Journal, 1993
A new finger joint prosthesis is being developed for the proximal and distal interphalangeal positions. Currently available "joint spacer" prostheses provide relief from pain and cosmetic improvement, but relatively poor long-term function. The new prosthesis employs a mechanical hinge at the joint. It is fabricated from titanium alloy (6A14V).

Cone prosthesis for the hip joint
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2000The shape of the proximal segment of the femur must be taken into account when implanting femoral endoprostheses, especially those intended for cementless anchorage. Numerous femoral prostheses are available for the proximally broadly extending, "trumpet-shaped" morphology.

Fitting a temporomandibular joint prosthesis to the skull1
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2000Fitting a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis to the skull by using stock prostheses seems to be an appropriate method. However, fitting the skull with one stock part requires many differently shaped parts. Therefore, we fitted the skull with two connected stock parts.

The Nicolle Finger Joint Prosthesis: A Reappraisal [PDF]
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1991 The Nicolle prosthesis was used to replace 101 metacarpophalangeal joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis over a ten-year period. Mean active flexion achieved was 30°. Mean ulnar deviation was 27°.4% of joints had to be removed after a mean interval of 42 months, for infection. None of the implants had fractured.

Parametric Modelling of a Knee Joint Prosthesis
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 1993This paper presents an approach for the establishment of a parametric model of knee joint prosthesis. Four different sizes of a commercial prosthesis are used as an example in the study. A reverse engineering technique was employed to reconstruct the prosthesis on CATIA, a CAD (computer aided design) system.

[Progress of temporomandibular joint prosthesis].
Hua xi kou qiang yi xue za zhi = Huaxi kouqiang yixue zazhi = West China journal of stomatology, 2014The anatomically and functionally complex nature of the temporomandibularjoint (TMJ) makes its reconstruction one of the most challenging tasks faced by surgeons who operate in the head and neck. TMJ prosthesis is one of the important techniques in the reconstruction of TMJ.

Management of the Infected Temporomandibular Joint Total Joint Prosthesis
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2010Patients with specific temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions and pathology may benefit from TMJ reconstruction by use of total joint prostheses. A potential risk to patients receiving TMJ total joint prostheses is infection. The purpose of this study was to present our experience in treating infected TMJ total joint prostheses over a 12-year period,

Elements of hip joint prosthesis reliability
Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1977The performance of a total hip prosthesis is considered in terms of reliability. The causes requiring removal of the prosthesis are considered and methods of avoiding these difficulties are outlined. It is pointed out that most attention must be focused on the areas of low reliability.

Comparison of 2 temporomandibular joint total joint prosthesis systems
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2003The study goal was to evaluate the comparative outcomes of patients treated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) total joint prostheses, using either the Christensen prosthesis (TMJ Inc, Golden, CO) (CP) or the TMJ Concepts prosthesis (TMJ Concepts Inc, Camarillo, CA; formerly Techmedica Inc) (TP).Forty-five consecutive patients treated with either CP or
