Abstract
The replacement of the distal half of the third metacarpal and the metacarpophalangeal joint with bone cement and a silicone implant is reported. Eight years after surgery, x-ray and clinical examination revealed no evidence of instability or material failure. The active and passive range of motion in the reconstructed metacarpophalangeal joint was 35 degrees, and the hand was free of pain.
