Deskripsi

Partial or complete finger amputations as a result of trauma, tumor, surgeries, or due to congenital anomalies are few of the most commonly confronted forms of partial hand loss. Prosthetic rehabilitation often offers predictable esthetic results although function cannot be completely restored. This case report outlines a low-cost and easy method to rehabilitate a partially amputated finger with a silicone finger prosthesis using a custom-made ring assembly as a retentive aid.
