The goal of this project is to design a prosthetic replacement for the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint that can be used in patients who do not have collateral ligaments or a volar plate, including patients with severe trauma or congenital hand defects. The prosthetic should have a long lifespan after being implanted because many patients benefiting from this design are younger patients. The prosthetic should allow the patient to maintain appropriate grip strength and range of motion, and should osteointegrate to prevent micromotion.
