摘要： Joint implants, such as joint implants used for placement in toes to treat hammertoe are described. More particularly, joint implants that include a proximal portion configured to be inserted into a first bone, a distal portion configured to be inserted into a second adjacent bone, and an elongated body positioned between the distal and distal portion is described. The elongated body can define a length and include at least one metal rod extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion and a porous mesh extending along at least a portion of the elongated body length. The porous mesh can be configured to allow for bony in-growth upon implantation, wherein the elongated body defines a generally square cross section and is configured to be inserted into drilled circular holes in the first and second hones. Methods of fusing two adjacent phalanges of a two are also described.
