Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Finger amputation significantly impacts patients' daily life, psychological well-being, and physical health.
  • Conventional prostheses primarily offer cosmetic and psychological benefits, with limited functional restoration.
  • A gap exists in the literature regarding functional finger prostheses for rehabilitation.

Observation:

  • A case report details the rehabilitation of an amputated index finger.
  • An innovative digital workflow was employed, eliminating the need for traditional impressions and casts.
  • The process involved digital design and three-dimensional (3-D) printing for prosthesis fabrication.

Findings:

  • The 3-D-printed prosthesis was impression-free, cast-free, accurate, and time-efficient.
  • The fabricated prosthesis was functionally viable, enabling the patient to perform everyday activities.
  • The functional prosthesis provided a significant psychological boost to the patient's confidence.

Implications:

  • This digital workflow represents a significant advancement in creating functional finger prostheses.
  • 3-D printing technology offers a viable and effective method for fabricating patient-specific, functional prosthetic devices.
  • The approach has the potential to improve rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life for individuals with finger amputations.
