ABSTRACT:
A finger knuckle joint prosthesis includes an elastomeric main body comprised of a central hinging part and two intramedullary stems. Extending from the main body towards the thumb is an integral strip. An integral tendon-retaining flap extends from the opposite side of the body, and a channel extends along between the strip and the flap for receiving one-third of a slit leader of a finger, the other two-thirds of which press the flap face-to-face against the strip.
