Functional partial hand

James Fenton

 

I have been referred a patient who has recently suffered amputation of the third, fourth and fifth fingers of his dominant, right hand.  He is more interested in regaining a good grasp than in a cosmetic restoration.
 
The third finger is amputated at the pip,  the fourth and fifth are approximately eight and 4 mm in length from the m-p joint, respectively.  Does anyone know of a functional, partial hand that can be used for this level and configuration?
 
Thanks,
 
Jim Fenton, CPO, LPO
