Novel implant design of the proximal interphalangeal joint using an optimized rolling contact joint mechanism.
Background: The aims of this study were to propose a novel implant design for the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) of the hand using a rolling contact joint (RCJ) mechanism and to derive an optimal implant design based on human PIPJ kinematics. Methods: In total, 10 participants with normal PIP...
