Pyrolytic Carbon Hemiarthroplasty in the Management of Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Arthritis

Level 4 Evidence
      Arthroplasty remains an established motion preserving treatment for proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthritis. The aim of this report is to review clinical, subjective and radiographic results of pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of PIP arthritis.
