The silicone metacarpophalangeal joint arthroplasty: An in-vitro analysis

Limiting joint flexion range will be helpful to reduce the strain-shielding effect on cortical bone, minimizing the overload effect on cancellous bone and decreasing the stress levels and the pistoning motion on the implant, ultimately contributing to the longevity of silicone arthroplasty.
