Abstract
The use of pyrocarbon implant changes the biomechanical behaviour of the joint phalanges and is associated with a potential risk of support cancellous-bone suffer fatigue failure in mid to long term due to the strain increase for cyclic loads in the range of daily hand activities, this risk is more prominent than the risk of bone resorption due to strain-shielding effect.
