During the past four decades, pyrolytic carbon (PyC) has been used successfully as a material for fabricating small joint implants for arthroplasty with purported benefits compared to other materials. In addition to total joint arthroplasty using PyC, successful hemi-arthroplasty has also been achieved in a variety of anatomic applications, including the metacarpal phalangeal (MCP) joint, proximal interphalangeal joint, carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, radio-capitellar joint, and gleno-humeral joint. It has also been used in non-anatomic interpositional arthroplasties in the upper limb in CMC joint, wrist, and in the first metatarsal phalangeal joint of the foot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ross M, James C, Klawitter J, Couzens G.
