[Update on prosthesis for partial hand and finger amputations]

Partial hand and finger amputations are relatively rare but devastating due to the consequences they provoque. In addition, they are more likely than lower limb amputations in car accidents, work accidents and by certain weapons of war. Men are going to have a much higher risk of traumatic amputation than women, with a rate 6.6 times higher. Fitting can be a complex process and a challenge for professionals. For this reason, it is important to know all the options available on the market that can meet the needs of patients, from cosmetic to myoelectric prostheses. Fitting requires the coordinated activity of a multiassistant clinical work team, the center of the team being the person who has suffered the amputation, who must have all the information possible to be able to actively participate in decision-making.
