Abstract

Partial or complete loss of fingers is frequently encountered in cases of partial hand injuries, representing a prevalent occurrence. While traumatic events are a common cause of finger amputations, congenital malformations and diseases can also contribute to digit loss, thereby widening the spectrum of potential etiologies. Irrespective of the underlying cause, the absence of a finger poses significant challenges, affecting both the functionality and psychological well-being of individuals. Consequently, addressing these challenges becomes paramount, prompting the fabrication of partial or complete finger prostheses as a viable solution to alleviate the associated functional and psychological impacts.
