Artificial implant for carpometacarpal joint

An artificial implant for a carpometacarpal joint, used for replacing a carpometacarpal joint surface of a first metacarpal bone and comprising:

• an insert portion having an inserting end for inserting into a bone marrow cavity exposed from an incision of the first metacarpal bone, and a front end;
• an articular replacement portion connected to the front end of the inserting portion and disposed outside the incision of the first metacarpal bone, and having an articular profile surface to replace the carpometacarpal joint surface of the first metacarpal bone;
• and
• an attached flange protruded from a peripheral of the articular replacement portion, configured to be attached to an outer bone surface of the first metacarpal bone adjacent to the incision, and having at least one suture hole;
• wherein an interval is formed between the attached flange and the first metacarpal bone, and at least one suture passes through the interval and the at least one suture hole, and the at least one suture is knotted with an abductor pollicis longus for assisting to fix the abductor pollicis longus to the outer bone surface;
• wherein the articular profile surface of the articular replacement portion is elliptical and includes a major axis and a minor axis, the major axis and the minor axis are crossed at a first intersection point, one end of the major axis close to the attached flange and the peripheral of the articular replacement portion are crossed at a second intersection point, a line is defined from the first intersection point to the attached flange, and an included angle defined between the line and the major axis is 1° to 45°, so that the attached flange is positioned and offset with respect to the second intersection point based on the articular profile surface;
• and
• wherein a ratio of the length of the major axis of the articular profile surface of the articular replacement portion and the length of the attached flange is 10:1 to 2:1.
