A carpal lunate prosthesis is an implant used to replace the lunate bone in the wrist when it’s damaged by conditions like avascular necrosis, arthritis, or chronic dislocation. These devices restore wrist stability and function by mimicking the natural bone’s shape, allowing patients to regain mobility and reduce pain in the affected joint.
These implants are typically regulated as surgical devices, often requiring sterile packaging and surgical implantation. They’re usually supplied as one-piece prostheses, with fixation secured through sutures or similar methods, and are designed for use in specialized orthopedic or hand surgery procedures.
