The purpose of this IRB approved study is to allow patients to undergo surgery with the
SR™ PIP (Proximal Interphalangeal) Implants. This is NOT a research study, but rather, a

humanitarian use by the FDA when either the patient is in need of a revision of failed
PIP prothesis(es) or the patient expects to place his/her hand under loading situation
which preclude the use of an alternative implant in the painful osteo-arthritic and post
traumatic arthritic PIP joint.
