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.

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,

The Nicolle Finger Joint Prosthesis: A Reappraisal
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1991The 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.

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.

Cellular basis for failure of joint prosthesis
Bio-Medical Materials and Engineering, 1996In recent times, loosening of joint prosthesis resulting in failure, is of grave concern to orthopedicians. It is estimated that 50% of total hip replacements become loose after 15 years, and most of them require either revision surgery or resection orthoplasty.

First clinical and radiographic results with a new knee joint prosthesis, implanted without cement, are reported and the characteristics of the implant (dowel fixation and special instrumentation) presented. The first series of 35 joints with a follow-up period of 1-3 years shows excellent results.

A New Prosthesis for the Metacarpophalangeal Joint
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1999This report discusses the Daphne® prosthesis for the metacarpophalangeal joint on the basis of the mechanical, chemical and biological performance of the materials employed. The Daphne® prosthesis is a mobile device. The main body is made of a new generation polymethylmetacrylate, while the hinge is made of AISI 316 L stainless steel.

Total Knee Joint Replacement Prosthesis
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1971Summary In summary, we feel that the total replacement knee joint prosthesis deserves a permanent place in the armamentarium of the reconstructive surgeon. Instability due to combined femoral and tibial articular destruction is the indication for the procedure.
