Arthrodesis as Salvage for Failed Metacarpophalangeal Arthroplasty
Despite a high revision rate of 45%, salvage MCP arthrodesis following arthroplasty has a high eventual union rate of 91% and is associated with improved pain and function based on 4 patients' experiences. Arthrodesis as a salvage procedure for failed MCP arthroplasties should be considered in patients with persistent joint instability and functionally limiting soft tissue deformities.
