Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to describe and to compare the motion analysis parameters, i.e. motion and stability of proximal interphalangeal joints, which were treated with a CapFlex-PIP© implant or silicone implant and to generate basic knowledge about motion analysis of untreated healthy hands.
