The Artelon CMC Spacer, which is used to treat early and mid-stage osteoarthritis in the carpometacarpal thumb joint, was designed to offer patients a quick recovery, less pain and joint stability.

Patients have complained of shooting or burning pain, reduced mobility, inflammation and swelling. It has also been reported that patients have had their Artelon CMC Spacer break apart in their hand or their thumb misshapen. In some cases, patients experiencing Artelon Spacer problems reportedly needed revision surgeries to have the CMC implant removed.
