Titanium Plasma Coated Medical Grade Thermoplastic or Polymer Proximal and Distal Interphalangeal Toe Implant

A toe implant for deformity correction of a hammer toe, a mallet toe, a claw toe, or an arthritic toe condition, the toe implant comprising:

• a monolithic body constructed from polyetheretherketone, the monolithic body including
• a proximal end section at a proximal end of the toe implant for fixation to a first bone portion, the proximal end section being tapered at the proximal end to aid insertion of the proximal end section into the first bone portion,
• a distal end section at a distal end of the toe implant for fixing the monolithic body to a second bone portion, the distal end section being tapered at the distal end to aid insertion of the distal end section into the second bone portion, and
• a central portion rigidly connecting the proximal end section and the distal end section;
• and
• an osteoconductive coating on the proximal end section and the distal end section, wherein
• the osteoconductive coating provides a surface for promoting bone growth when the toe implant is implanted in the first bone portion and the second bone portion, and
• the central portion of the monolithic body does not have any osteoconductive coating applied, such that the central portion is radiolucent after the osteoconductive coating is applied to the proximal end section and the distal end section.
