Bone-anchored implant in cosmetic finger reconstruction

The majority of the patients, who underwent amputation of one or more fingers or present congenital absence of some phalanges, can be treated by microsurgical reconstruction. Several reconstructive techniques are available, but in some cases the use of osseous-integrated implants to anchor silicon digital prosthesis is a valid alternative. We present one case, a 27 years old male, affected by congenital hypoplasia of the second finger of the right hand who underwent reconstruction by prosthesis and extraoral bone-anchored implant.
