I think i'm heading towards surgery for both my hands. been dealing with pain in my thumbs for years but getting worse had xrays last year and they said it was mild, but since then i'm in daily pain no matter what i do it hurts, even sitting in a chair i get pain out of nowhere, i'm not doing cortisone because i don't want to prolong it i will deal with the recovery and want to be without paid. i saw my xrays there's nothing cushioning my bones so it looks like i'm bone on bone, tried splinting it only worked temp
I find it interesting that you would expect a patient to go through cortisone shots knowing that the condition will not improve. Just putting off what really needs to be done. I’m facing the prospect of surgery and the thought of having shots for a year or two just draws this thing out.
Hi Susan, it is not always necessary to go through cortisone shots prior to surgery, especially if you have been dealing with pain for a number of years. Most surgeons prefer to try conservative measures before doing any surgical procedures. If you would like to reach out to us at info@bioproimplants.com, we can see if there are any surgeons in your area performing this surgery.
My sister saw an orthopedic hand surgeon after seeing videos on this implant, he said oh no, no no those have a high fail rate! So, I would question the validity for somebody who is active and using the implant. This is obviously a bio pro video, patients need to understand and ask the question about why it’s not more widespread use at this point, and what the fail rate is.
Unfortunately, most implants are grouped together and the surgeon made a generalized statement probably referring to other implant designs. In Europe, implants are widely used, but here most surgeons are trained in traditional techniques, removing the trapezium bone and leaving few to no bailout procedures. The published data on BioPro Modular Implant shows a success rate of 94%. You can review the study on PubMed here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3442003/
@@BioProInc this assessment by a hand surgeon was specifically about the bio pro implant; does it not occur to you it’s very limited availability this many years out following development? I’d have to travel 200 miles to from DC area to York PA get access, my sister who lives in San Francisco would have to travel all the way to LA or Vegas🫤.
@@Retiredtraveler1961 I understand the skepticism and yes, there are many areas of the country where unfortunately surgeons have yet to be open to implants. While the implant has been available for many years, it hasn’t been until recently that surgeons are truly open to learning about implants. In the United States, 95% of surgeries for CMC arthritis remove the trapezium bone, whereas in countries in Europe, 96% of surgeries choose joint replacement as the first option. This drastic difference is mainly related to how surgeons are trained and the procedures they are exposed to. The traditional method of removing the trapezium bone is considered the standard as it provides pain relief (no more bone-on-bone articulation) and low revision rates (very few revision options are available as the trapezium is removed). We believe patients deserve an option that preserves motion, maintains thumb height, and provides pain relief, which our study has shown. We hope in the near future, more surgeons will be open to the idea of joint replacement and offer it as an option. Every patient needs to do their own research and chose the procedure that best fits their needs. If you have any further questions, feel free to message us at info@bioproimplants.com.
Why only steroids why can't it be hyuralronic acid when osteo involves loss of lubrication with age & use? Why compromise an elderly persons immune system when it is not an overactive immune system causing the problem?
