Metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty in patients with severe arthritis or osteoarthritis
. Gothenburg: The Regional Health Technology Assessment Centre (HTA-centrum). HTA-rapport 2013:63. 2013 Authors' conclusions The main indication for prosthetic surgery of the MCP and PIP joints in patients with severe arthritis or osteoarthritis is pain. The implantation of any one of all the available joint prostheses results in a substantial pain reduction. However, there is no documentation that suggests that any particular prosthesis is superior to another.
