Silicone Finger Prosthesis For Partially Amputed Index Finger- Two Case Reports
Journal Title: National Journal of Medical and Dental Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Finger and partial finger amputations are commonly due to traumatic instability and economic crises. This renders an amputee incapable of leading a relatively normal life. Prosthetic rehabilitation of amputed finger or lost body part proves to be promising when surgical restoration is contraindicated, unavailable or unaffordable. Silicone finger prosthesis provides life-like natural appearance of the prosthesis, alleviating psychological problems and thus improving function and quality of life. This paper presents two case reports of prosthetic rehabilitation of partially amputed index finger with custom made silicone prosthesis.
