PROTES FOR ATT STELT FOGA IHOP BEN

摘要

A prosthesis for use in fusion of a bone joint especially for managing the severely disabled rheumatoid wrist. The prosthesis serves as a bridge across the joint and is formed of an appropriate metal of hollow construction and is bifurcated at one end to provide projections which are received within the medullary canal of two metacarpals and has an extension on the other end for reception within the radius. Methylmethacrylate or other appropriate settable cement is packed within and about the prosthesis to provide, upon setting, a strong, rigid joint bridge.
