This paper summarizes the biomechanic research and devolvement of the prosthesis, preoperative evaluation and plan for metacarpophalangealgeal joint implantation and the clinical results of different designs of the MCP prosthetic joint in the past decade. With improvement of prosthesis designs and operative technology, the MCP implantation will play a better role in clinical treatment of chronic arthritis of the hand, such as relief of pain, rectification of abnormality and functional recovery of the hand.
