Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Rehabilitation medicine

Background:

  • Partial hand amputation presents significant functional deficits.
  • Prosthetic devices offer a solution to restore function and improve quality of life.
  • Current prosthetic options vary widely in functionality and aesthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare available partial hand prosthetic devices.
  • To discuss the spectrum of prosthetic options for partial hand amputees.
  • To present clinical experiences with partial hand prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of investigated and marketed prosthetic options.
  • Comparison of different prosthetic types: passive, body-powered, activity-specific, and externally-powered.
  • Inclusion of clinical experiences from a specialized medical center.

Main Results:

  • A wide range of prosthetic solutions exist, with no single perfect device.
  • Multiple prosthetic devices may be necessary for optimal function.
  • Different prosthetic types cater to varied needs and activities.

Conclusions:

  • Partial hand prosthetics are crucial for functional restoration.
  • A personalized approach, potentially involving multiple devices, is often required.
  • Ongoing research and development are vital for advancing prosthetic technology.
