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 requirement by the FDA for humanitarian use of device. Use of the SR™ PIP is approved for 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. ;
