Abstract
A hemi-arthroplasty bone joint implant has a first part () with a stem () tor intramedullary implanting into a metacarpal, mid a second part () to engage the trapezium is a translational manner, a hemi-arthroplasty articulating coupling (). This allows multi-axial motion with translational movement of the second part over the trapezium and rotation of the first part () about the articulating coupling (). There is also a converter to convert the implant to a total arthroplasty implant in situ during revision surgery. The second part () and the hemi-arthroplasty coupling () are removable in situ during revision surgery. The first part () has an engagement threaded socket () for, after removal of the second part and the hemi-arthroplasty coupling, engaging the replacement coupling () and allowing mutual articulation of the first () and replacement parts (). This forms a total arthroplasty joint implant.
