Fabrication of Glove Type Silicone Finger Prosthesis: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
Finger and partial finger amputations can be the result of a congenital anomaly, trauma, tumour surgery or malformations. Surgical reconstruction may not be possible, owing to size or location of the defect. The patient's medical condition or personal desires may also preclude reconstructive surgery. In such cases, prosthetic rehabilitation is indicated. A case report has been presented where a custom made glove type prosthesis was fabricated using silicone elastomer.
