Abstract

Hand is a body part which is of major importance for communication, body language and social contact along with its basic function of grasping and feeling. Finger and partial finger amputations are some of the most frequently encountered forms of partial hand loss which causes devastating physical, psychosocial and economic damage to an individual. Rehabilitation of amputed finger is of utmost importance and the first choice is microvascular reconstruction. But when it is contraindicated, unavailable, unsuccessful or unaffordable, the prosthetic rehabilitation is an alternative for improving the psychological status of an individual. Silicone finger prosthesis with modern prosthetic designs, fabricated with immense care, can be life-like and can assist the amputee in returning to society socially as well as psychologically.
