Area of Science:

Prosthetics and Regenerative Medicine
Biomaterials Engineering
Hand Surgery

Background:

Partial-finger amputations significantly impact hand function and patient psychological well-being.
Causes include traumatic injuries, congenital defects, and malformations.
Restoring both esthetic appearance and function is crucial for patient rehabilitation.

Observation:

A custom-made finger prosthesis was fabricated using heat-cured acrylic material.
The prosthesis was uniquely sculpted to match the patient's contralateral hand.
The fabrication process focused on achieving both esthetic harmony and functional usability.

Findings:

The custom finger prosthesis successfully matched the patient's hand esthetically.
The device was easy for the patient to use, enhancing daily function.
The prosthesis provided a dual benefit of esthetic and functional rehabilitation.

Implications:

Custom-designed prostheses offer a viable solution for patients with partial-finger amputations.
This approach can significantly improve patients' quality of life by addressing both functional and psychological needs.
Further research into biomaterials and fabrication techniques can optimize outcomes for prosthetic rehabilitation.
