description | Partial-finger amputations not only affect the function of the hand but also the psychology of patients. Amputation can be caused by traumatic injuries, congenital defects, or malformations. Patients will benefit esthetically as well as functionally when a finger prosthesis is uniquely sculpted for each patient. This article describes the fabrication of a custom-made finger prosthesis with heat-cured acrylic material which not only matched the patient’s hand esthetically but was also easy to use. Finger prosthesis offered both esthetic as well as functional rehabilitation to the patient. |
