Abstract
Deformable joint implants with a generally hyperbolic paraboloid shape are disclosed, including configurations for delivery into the small joints of the body in the wrists, hands, ankle and feet, such as the first carpo-metacarpal joint, which comprises a double-saddle structure. The center of the implant may be supported, or supported and configured as a central opening. Implants with supported center regions may have a uniform or non-uniform thickness. A region of non-uniform, reduced thickness may be circular, oval or ring-like in shape, with a central support that may have an increased thickness relative to the perimeter region of the implant.
