A member asked:

Which is the best for hypoplasia of the middle phalanx/ joint in pinkie; artificial bone/joint implant or cadaver bone/joint transplant also, toe to finger transplant. is it possible to get a synthetic bone implant + toe joint transplant ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I doubt any physicians on this panel could answer such a highly technical question. I would start by consulting a hand surgeon, probably at a university hospital, who could answer your questions or point you in the right direction.
