An interpositional biarticular disk implant (11) having a circular
peripheral rim, a generally toroidal axial center opening (13) and convex
upper and lower surfaces (15, 17) is implanted between resected concave
surfaces of the metacarpal base and the trapezium or other carpal bone in
a CMC joint replacement. The disk (11) is anchored in operative position
through the use of a flexable cond, such as a harvested tendon that
passes through the center opening (13) and through osseous passageways
created in the two facing bones.
