Along with functions like grasping and feeling, hands also have an esthetic impact and they can emphasize the beauty of a gesture or grace of a movement Finger and partial finger amputations are some of the most frequently encountered forms of partial hand loss.Whether the traumatic loss of limb or finger is due to war, congenital malformations, systemic diseases (diabetes), an industrial, domestic or vehicular accident, amputation leaves the individual with a long lasting emotional scar from the disfigurement.The concealment of the amputation with the help of reconstructive surgery or prosthesis usage can shield an amputee from social stigma and help improve emotional healing process.Fabrication of finger prosthesis is as much as an art as it is science. The traditional techniques of prosthesis fabrication as described in the review, via silicone and osseointegrated implant for anchorage of digital prosthesis serves an alternative to complex surgical procedures.

Objective:This study reports a clinical case of rehabilitation of a patient who had her left little finger amputated at the mesial phalanx because of a gunshot wound. The finger prosthesis was custom- made using a silicone.Case description:This study presents a clinical case of a female patient who had her left little finger amputated at the mesial phalanx because of a gunshot wound in 2016. The patient was attended at a reference center in maxillofacial rehabilitation in the city of Brasilia, Distrito Federal, Brazil, for the manufacture of a finger prosthesis. After molding, a finger waxing was obtained using the right little finger as a template. The waxing was later adjusted on the plaster model of the affected stump. The prosthesis was manufactured with silicone and intrinsically stained with a makeup powder. A water-based adhesive and a ring were used to generate a slight compression so that the prosthesis was retained on the stump.Outcomes:The rehabilitation showed satisfactory levels of stability, retention, and aesthetics, and it was usable and clinically acceptable, as observed in a follow-up appointment in February 2020.Conclusions:The complete or partial reestablishment of functions performed by important structures, such as the fingers, is essential to increase the quality of life of individuals, improving their performance of daily activities. In addition, reporting on this public health problem allows scientific advancement in the area.

Psychological impact gives more affects to the patient's desire to make a finger prosthesis. Retention is an important factor in the fabrication of finger prostheses. a fairly simple way is to use the vacuum effect which can be obtained from modifying the stone model of the finger. The present article uses a technique to get retention from passive vacuum fit. This method can be used to fabricate finger prostheses with simple materials and will reduce costs.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with finger amputation using silicone material

Abstract: Because of the missing residual stump, functional limitations were also there. This clinical report describes a technological process of designing and manufacturing a silicone rubber prosthesis for a patient who has a finger loss caused due to trauma.
