    Author: Howard FM, Simpson LA, Belsole RJ.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1985 May; (195):144-50. PubMed ID: 3978945.
    Abstract:
    Interpositional Silastic condylar arthroplasty of the first carpometacarpal joint was used in 40 patients with disabling arthritis. Limiting bone resection at the base of the thumb improves prosthetic stability. Pain was lessened and function improved in most cases. Technical modifications and their rationale are discussed.
