Aesthetic rehabilitation of a partially amputated finger - A case report

Abstract –

Partial or complete loss of a digit has an emotional, psychological, functional and financial burden on the patient. High expectations of the patient to receive an aesthetic, life -like prosthesis makes it a challenging task. This clinical report portrays a simple method of fabricating a silicone prosthesis for a partially amputated digit. Retention is achieved by scoring the master cast which creates a vacuum to snuggly fit the silicone over the skin tissues.
