About Single Small Joint Replacement in Finger

Single small joint replacement in the finger, also known as finger joint arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to restore pain-free movement and function to a damaged finger joint. This procedure involves removing the arthritic or damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with a small, durable artificial implant, typically made of metal, plastic, or silicone. It is most commonly performed on the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) or metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. The goal is to alleviate chronic pain, correct deformity, and improve the hand's ability to grasp and perform daily activities. This minimally invasive option offers a significant improvement in quality of life for patients suffering from severe joint degeneration.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
