Naming convention for implant locations in the hand

During a discussion on another thread in this forum, it became clear that a naming convention of some sort should be made for the implant locations in the hand. I simply modeled the way dentists talk about teeth in the mouth, and concluded the following should suffice. Flex series implant considerations It is recommended that flex implants not be placed in position 4 or 5 (see below). These locations often put too much stress on the implant and tend to have a higher failure rate when flex impla…

In short This post as all about location, location, location! While planning my current batch of implants it became apparent there is LOTS of great information on this forum about implant locations but the number of threads and opinions is a tad overwhelming. This is especially for newbies and results in multiple “Implant location plan” thread’s.

I have an xG3 implanted in the tissue next to the right thumb metacarpal bone, how would you number that spot? L-1 ? [image] Number 22 in this overview: [image]

It’s not recommended to have it implanted in any gripping surface… but if you do choose that spot, let us know how it heals and feels.

You can do whatever you want, but I think it’s going to suck. The implant will pinch the skin when you press it against a surface. It hurts bad enough when I occasionally bump it into things while it’s on the back of my hand, I can’t imagine regularly gripping things with that surface.

There’s also the recommendation from DT that PilgrimsMaster mentioned. If you implant on a gripping surface you increase the likelihood of breakage.

What is the benefit of implanting in that location?

[Satur9]

Do you not want to use the usual spot?

Depends on if you want to put something else there in the future.
