Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic technology, specifically to an implantation device for small joints. Background Technology

[0002] Arthritis of the hand can be clinically classified into many types, including rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Treatment varies depending on the specific condition.
