- Symptomatic rhizarthrosis (primary and secondary)
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Treatment goals:
- Pain relief
- Preservation of strength
- Maximum mobilization with full circumduction
- Opposition while maintaining thumb length
The CARPOFIT® thumb saddle joint prosthesis was developed in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Uwe Joosten (Marien hospital Osnabrück).
The implant is used for cementless trapeziometacarpal joint replacement in cases of rhizarthosis or rheumatoid arthritis. The modular design and small diameter of the Pressfit cup results in a bone-saving restoration that can be adapted to the patient's anatomy.
10-Year Results
A study with 292 patients shows: 95% survival rate after 10 years, significant improvement in pain and function within the first 3 months. 91% of patients were satisfied or very satisfied after 10 years—a clear testament to the quality and reliability of the CARPOFIT® prosthesis!

The HAPTIC® system was developed in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Uwe Joosten (Marienhospital Osnabrück) and Dr. med. univ. Armin Zadra (state hospital Bad Radkersburg).
The implant is used for uncoupled cementless treatment of the proximal interphalangeal finger joint using a novel combination of materials. The wide range of sizes and the minimal resection required allow the collateral ligaments to be preserved. The stem-guided design ensures good bone anchorage.
