Amputation of any body part, especially the thumb, can be emotionally upsetting. The degree of psychological difficulty associated with amputation generally increases with age, with all other considerations being equal. Such a situation affects a patient's mental, social, and psychological well-being. This article presents a case report of prosthetic reconstruction of an amputated thumb of a 70-year-old male through a cost-effective procedure using heat cure acrylic resin material.
