Aesthetic Finger Prosthesis

Abstract: Complete or partial fingers are the most commonly encountered forms of partial hand losses. Though finger amputations are commonly due to traumatic injuries, digit loss may also be attributed to congenital malformations and disease. Irrespective of the etiology, the loss of a finger has a considerable functional and psychological impact on an individual. In order to alleviate these problems, partial or complete finger prosthesis may be fabricated. This clinical report portrays a method to fabricate silicone ru… Show more

“…The process of rectification was performed such that positive pressure was not localised but the pressure was distributed evenly and based on the capability of the tissues to withstand pressure rather than uniform reduction of 2 mm19 or 5–7% circumference reduction18 of the stump to create the passive vacuum fit. The retention was added also by a retentive finger ring which solved the purpose of retention and aesthetics.…”
