Abstract
The Artelon CMC spacer (Small Bone Innovations, Inc., Morrisville, PA) is a relatively new device that was developed for the treatment of basal joint arthritis. It is composed of a biodegradable polycaprolactone-based polyurethane urea that acts to resurface the distal part of the trapezium and stabilize the trapeziometacarpal joint by augmenting the joint capsule. This is a case report of a foreign-body tissue reaction to the Artelon CMC spacer.
