The BioPro Modular Thumb Implant, for your patients that demand more.

Patients struggling with thumb arthritis, surgical outcomes and recovery times matter deeply. The BioPro Modular Thumb Implant offers significant benefits over traditional trapeziectomy procedures, addressing key patient concerns while preserving surgical options.

Backed by 20 years of clinical use and published 6-year outcomes.

A review of 265 patients from three published clinical studies.

  • No dislocations reported1,2,3

  • 88-94% implant survivorship1,2,3

  • 34.78-point QUICKDASH improvement2
  • Average VAS pain reduction from 8 to 13
  • Increased tip pinch improved from 10lbs to 14lbs1

  • Recovery on average 10 weeks faster than LRTI1

Improves strength and dexterity

The BioPro Modular Thumb Implant is engineered with a 15 degree ulnar angle and offset head, which mimics the natural alignment of the carpaometacarpal joint. This not only prevents dislocation, but provides a stable construct for metacarpal leverage.

Maintains Thumb Height

Follow up at an average of 6-years shows the BioPro Modular Thumb Implant preserved metacarpal length and cosmetics in all patients with less than a 1% subsidence rate.1 This is achieved by minimal burring of the trapezium, only creating a shallow socket cover 1/3 head. Additionally, by offering multiple head heights (0, +2 and +4), it allows the surgeon to achieve proper joint tension and alignment intraoperatively.

Faster Recovery

The recommended post-op protocol includes casting for 2-4 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of strengthening exercises with full recovery by 12 weeks. While many patients are virtually pain-free in a matter of weeks, clinical experience has shown that some patients may have discomfort for up to a year while the trapezium remodels. After remodeling, this discomfort should resolve.

What patients are saying…

Patients are seeking alternatives to traditional procedures due to the long recovery times and limited revision options available. Our data proves that patients previously treated with an LRTI on their contralateral hand prefer the implant over the LRTI procedure.1 Listen to Ruth share her experience after receiving both an LRTI and a BioPro Modular Thumb Implant.

What surgeons are saying…

Leading surgeons are discovering the benefits of thumb joint replacement. The “burn no bridges” approach, allows surgeons to treat their patients earlier, with predictable results. Backed by 20 years of clinical experience, you can be confident you are treating your patients with a proven implant.
