Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Prosthetics and orthotics
  • Hand surgery

Background:

  • Traditional cosmetic gloves offer limited function for transmetacarpal (TMC) and carpometacarpal (CMC) amputations.
  • Challenges in prosthetic fitting at this level include short stump length, poor aesthetics, and lack of functional options.

Observation:

  • A 30-year-old male presented with a complex hand amputation (1st-4th CMC level, 5th metacarpal fused) and stump issues including grafted skin and pain.
  • The patient's stump exhibited redness and an unhealed suture line, causing discomfort.

Findings:

  • A custom silicone hand prosthesis was fabricated, incorporating flexible wires for passive interphalangeal movement.
  • The prosthesis successfully restored appearance, provided passive function, reduced pain (VAS score), and improved daily living (DASH, Jebsen-Taylor tests).

Implications:

  • Custom silicone prostheses offer a viable solution for proximal hand amputations, addressing functional and aesthetic deficits.
  • This case demonstrates a simple method for achieving passively movable fingers, enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
