Rationale: Patients with osteoarthrtis (OA) of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint are commonly treated with joint arthroplasty. The CapFlex PIP implant is a modular surface replacing implant, which has good short-term functional results with a relatively low complication rate. To reduce implant failure and to increase long-term survival, it is important to expand knowledge about fixation and loosening patterns. By using model-based roentgen stereogrammaetric analysis (mRSA), the migration pattern of the implant over time can be calculated. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the fixation and migration patterns of the CapFlex PIP implant system (produced and developed by several companies of KLS Martin Group) in vivo, using mRSA, over 10 years. Secondary objectives are to analyse survival, clinical scores and radiographic aspects of the CapFlex PIP implant system. Study
