Abstract

Those patients who have lost an important biological and functional part such as a hand or finger will experience changes in social acceptance that impact their psyche and sense of well-being. The quality of life of such patients is hampered and social integration and bonding are also affected. The prosthetic rehabilitation of the avulsed part of the fingers supports the patient emotionally as well as restores their physical appearance and makes them more confident. In this case report four avulsed fingers were fabricated with the help of silicone elastomers.
