Description
Finger amputation is the most common type of upper extremity amputation. In addition to a loss of function, finger amputations adversely affect the patient's social interactions and quality of life. Various materials and methods, including osseointegration, have been used to fabricate finger prostheses for partial amputations. This article will discuss a method to create a semirigid socket that fits beneath the aesthetic silicone skin/cover developed to provide the rigidity and secure connection needed for prehension and to reduce the stress on the thin silicone margins.
