A custom-made "submini" digital prosthesis offers the best solution for fingernail loss, providing a lifelike appearance and tissue support without irreversible measures.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Digital prosthetics

Background:

  • Fingernail loss significantly impacts patients psychologically.
  • Current surgical nail replacement methods are often unsatisfactory.
  • Existing artificial fingernail techniques lack reliable attachment and thinness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel digital prosthesis for fingernail reconstruction.
  • To address the limitations of existing artificial fingernail solutions.
  • To provide a satisfactory method for attaching and fabricating artificial fingernails.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a custom-fabricated
  • submini
  • digital prosthesis.
  • Focus on achieving a high likeness and thin profile.
