Revision surgery for failed finger joint replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study is for people who need a second operation to replace a failed artificial joint in the finger (proximal interphalangeal joint). The goal is to give these patients an option when other joint replacements are not suitable, especially if they use their hands for heavy activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a failed artificial joint in the middle joint of a finger (proximal interphalangeal joint).
- You need a revision (replacement) of that failed joint.
- Your hand use involves heavy or stressful activities that would make other joint replacements unsuitable.
- You are not eligible for or cannot use an alternative joint replacement for this problem.

This trial studies a new implant (the CapFlex) to replace a damaged finger joint (the PIP joint) when conservative treatments are not enough. It may help reduce pain and improve stability for the right type of joint problem.
This study tests whether a special splint called a 'relative motion orthosis' can help people regain movement in a stiff finger joint after an injury or surgery. If you have a recent finger joint problem and are willing to do hand therapy, this trial may help you recover better.
This trial tests if a thumb joint replacement works better than the standard surgery for reducing pain and improving hand use in people with thumb arthritis (grades I to III).
This study tests a new knee replacement system designed for people who need a revision (redo) of a previous knee replacement. The goal is to see how well the new knee works and how safe it is for people with severe pain or instability after a prior replacement.
This study looks at how well hip or knee replacements work. If you are already scheduled for a replacement or a revision (a second replacement), you may be able to join.
This study tests if a procedure that quiets the nerves around a painful finger joint (PIP joint denervation) can reduce pain and improve hand function for people with osteoarthritis. It offers a possible alternative before considering more invasive surgery.
