BioPro Modular Thumb Implant patient back to surgery.

[@robertyoung9589]

I had the BioPro implant surgery in Louisville KY two weeks ago and I am amazed at the quick recovery. No pain now and full range of motion. I will be using a splint for a few weeks in order to stabilize the bone.

Was this a nickel free implant? If it wasn't is there a nickel free implant available now? Thanks

[@BioProInc]

We offer a Titanium Implant option, that doesn't contain nickel.

i am on the verge to getting the regular approach surgery and saw this. Please tell me more about it, how long on the market, and over all success rate verses #### of surgeries performed. Thank you!

[@BioProInc]

Hi, please visit out patient's page at bioproimplants.com/thumb-arthritis. All of those details are available there. Thank you.

After watching the video, can you explain to me, what holds the implant in place, just surrounding tendons, muscles, etc.? Thank you. I'm waiting to see if I'm a good candidate for at least one thumb.

[@BioProInc]

During the procedure, a round socket is created in the trapezium bone which the head of the implant will sit in. This provides a stable base for thumb movement, and combined with the natural tendons and ligaments, holds the implant securely in place.

Just had my left thumb done, Your results helped make the decision to try Biopro. Can you give us an update in 2021? Thanks.

[@worthmor]

I don't see a lot of updates on biopro. Is this still a viable option? There are not many new videos that i can find.

[@BioProInc]

Thanks for checking in. Yes, the Modular Thumb is definitely still a viable option for many patients. If you peruse our KZbin channel you will see multiple new testimonials from patients as well as surgeon users. Also, check out Dr Badia's page, he's one of our busiest users and has quite a bit of patient content available. www.youtube.com/@drbadia/videos

I had mine done about three years ago, no problems. NO doctor in California was doing them, I had to go out of state and out of pocket to get it done.

[@BioProInc]

Hi David, We are happy to hear that the procedure was successful. As we continue to educate surgeons on the benefits this procedure offers, hopefully, there will be more convenient options for patients in the future. Thanks again for sharing.

@@BioProInc any docs use this in the chicago area ??? like dr gary kronen

[@danielvillarreal792]

Hello just reading this message where did you have your thumb surgery done? I live California.

[@NickyReed]

I really need this procedure, is it covered by Medicare?

[@BioProInc]

Yes, this procedure is covered by Medicare. Deductibles and co-pays will vary depending on your plan so confirm those costs prior to surgery.

Im having my implant removed next week. I simply cannot close my thumb to my hand (think saluting) and it is painful. My second surgeon feels the wrong alignment was used. Im going with the anchovy approach and hoping the bone doesnt crack when he removes the implant shaft. Im sure the implant is a fine product. Just find the right orthopedic surgeon.

[@BioProInc]

Sorry to hear about your removal. Like everything in life they're unfortunately not 100% successful. I believe I spoke with your surgeon doing your removal earlier today and we reviewed the removal technique. Best of luck with this next procedure.

[@judylynn6853]

Can you tell me how you did after the removal ? I can find no videos about a removal/revision. Thank you
