Objective: We present long-term results for the Pyrocardan®, a pyrocarbon trapeziometacarpal interposition implant used for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the thumb.
Methods: Between March 2009 and May 2013, 199 arthroplasties were performed in a single hand center, in 184 patients by 6 hand surgeons. 107 implants were followed up for a mean 137 months (range, 120-168 months).

Introduction: Destruction of the metacarpophalangeal joint can result in disabling pain and stiffness. Several therapeutic options are available, including pyrocarbon interposition implants. The primary endpoint of this study was assessment of clinical and radiographic outcomes in 34 patients treated with HAPY® pyrocarbon interposition implants (Tornier, Grenoble, France) with a minimum follow-up of 3 years.

The number of patients presenting to the hand surgeon with severe rheumatoid disease has decreased with the introduction of more effective medical management. However some rheumatoid patients will undergo disease progression despite this. MCPJ and PIPJ replacement can be effective surgical treatments in these patients but patient selection is crucial.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create engineered cartilage using pyrocarbon (PyC) biomaterial and differentiated chondrocytes, focusing on a scaffold-free and mechanically stimulated process.
- By applying uniaxial cyclic compression in a specially designed tribo-bioreactor, the researchers aimed to keep the chondrocytes in a cartilage-like phenotype while enhancing the matrix composition.
- Findings indicated that the combination of PyC and dynamic stimulation led to denser constructs with improved mechanical properties and no signs of unwanted cell maturation, highlighting the effectiveness of integrating biomaterials with mechanical stimuli in tissue engineering.
