Area of Science:

  • * Reconstructive surgery and prosthetics
  • * Biomaterials science and medical device development

Background:

  • * A 52-year-old male patient presented with partial amputation of four fingers on his left hand.
  • * The need for functional and aesthetically pleasing prosthetic solutions for upper limb differences.

Observation:

  • * A custom silicone finger prosthesis was fabricated using the patient's contralateral hand for pattern creation.
  • * Specialized wax was formulated for precise molding and carving of the prosthesis pattern.
  • * Intrinsic and extrinsic staining techniques were employed to achieve a natural skin color match.

Findings:

  • * The patient was successfully fitted with the custom silicone finger prosthesis.
  • * A sports half-glove was recommended to conceal the prosthesis-tissue junction and enhance retention.
  • * The patient reported improved social acceptance following the use of the prosthesis.

Implications:

  • * Demonstrates the efficacy of modern silicone materials in creating realistic and functional finger prostheses.
  • * Highlights the importance of patient-centered design, including contralateral mirroring and color matching.
  • * Suggests that prosthetic interventions can significantly enhance psychosocial well-being and social integration for individuals with limb differences.
