SBI implants at PIP level with different problems. The ring-finger was operated in 2012, and revised in 2015 as the distal component was changed and cemented. Subsequently the joint ended up ankylotic with bony overgrowth. The index and middle-finger were operated in 2016. This radiography from 2017 show signs of subsidence and deviation, especially in the index-finger which later had to be revised and cemented (both components). Only the middle-finger implant has survived without additional surgery
