A proper rehabilitation process is of great importance in losses resulting from traumas, work accidents, congenital conditions, or medical necessities. Especially prosthetic applications after finger amputation aim to help the patient regain aesthetic appearance and restore hand functions to the maximum level. Our clinical studies show that every individual&#8217;s anatomical structure and daily life requirements are different. Therefore, the treatment plan should be personalized, and the most appropriate prosthetic technology should be selected.<\/p><p>Today, thanks to advancements in medical technology, the types of prostheses used for finger losses have diversified significantly. In addition to silicone solutions produced entirely compatible with the individual&#8217;s skin tone, nail structure, and finger folds, alternatives offering mechanical capabilities are also available. Together with our expert team, we evaluate our patients&#8217; expectations after surgery and provide the most accurate guidance.

fundamental criterion that determines from which joint or knuckle the finger loss has occurred. In hand anatomy, each finger consists of multiple bones: the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges. Whether the loss is at the fingertip or closer to the palm directly affects the type of prosthesis to be applied. While determining the level, the length of the remaining stump, mobility, and general skin condition are carefully examined.<\/p><p>Accurately analyzing the amputation level during clinical evaluations maximizes the efficiency the patient will get from the prosthesis. The sensitivity remaining on the stump, the condition of nerve endings, and the amount of soft tissue determine prosthetic fit. Going through a comprehensive evaluation at this stage plays a critical role in preventing future compatibility issues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31d04ee lux-ai-heading lux-ai-h3 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"31d04ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distal_and_Middle_Phalanx_Losses\"><\/span>Distal and Middle Phalanx Losses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-366beca cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"366beca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Distal phalanx losses, namely fingertip losses, generally stem from injuries under the nail or in the first joint region. The main goal in amputations at this level is to preserve the aesthetic integrity of the hand and support the sensitive sense of touch. Silicone applications yield very successful results for patients at this level.<\/p><p>In losses at the middle phalanx level, the condition of the tendons contributing to the bending movement of the finger gains importance. The remaining stump structure in this region can provide a sufficient support surface for partial hand prosthesis applications. Through measurements taken by specialists, the most appropriate design is decided while preserving the movements of the remaining part of the finger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27d1f8b lux-ai-heading lux-ai-h3 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"27d1f8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proximal_Level_and_Multiple_Finger_Losses\"><\/span>Proximal Level and Multiple Finger Losses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4553b9 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4553b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The proximal phalanx level is the region closest to the joint where the finger connects to the palm. Losses at this level can severely weaken the gripping function of the hand. In cases accompanied by multiple finger losses, the rehabilitation process requires a more comprehensive approach, aiming for the patient to actively use their hand again.<\/p><p>In multiple finger amputations, it is essential that the fingers work harmoniously with each other and that the ability to grasp objects is supported. At this point, solutions incorporating both aesthetic and mechanical elements are discussed. The ideal technological infrastructure is determined by considering the patient&#8217;s occupation and daily routines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5334ed5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default cmsmasters-block-default\" data-id=\"5334ed5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-932d978\" data-id=\"932d978\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-335a705 lux-ai-heading lux-ai-h2 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"335a705\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Silicone_Cosmetic_Options\"><\/span>Silicone Cosmetic Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3c7e73 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b3c7e73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Silicone cosmetic options are the most frequently preferred visually oriented rehabilitation methods after finger amputation.

The skin tone, vascular structures, finger hair, and nail details are meticulously painted to achieve the most realistic appearance possible.<\/p><p>One of the greatest advantages of these prostheses is that they largely eliminate aesthetic concerns experienced in social life. Thanks to their lightweight structure, they do not cause a feeling of weight for the user and offer comfortable use throughout the day. The flexible structure of the silicone material adapts to the skin while also bringing ease of use.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c6cd50 lux-ai-heading lux-ai-h3 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4c6cd50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personalized_Color_and_Texture_Harmony\"><\/span>Personalized Color and Texture Harmony<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74e23bd cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74e23bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The most crucial stage in silicone finger production is applying pigmentation that will flawlessly match the patient&#8217;s skin color. Expert technicians hand-paint tone transitions, freckles, or spot details on the patient&#8217;s healthy finger, turning them into reality. Thus, it becomes extremely difficult to notice the prosthesis from the outside.<\/p><p>Texture harmony is not limited to color alone but also includes matching the nail structure with the patient&#8217;s other fingers. Nails can be painted or polished, creating a major social advantage especially for female patients.

Mechanical and functional options work by drawing power from the movement of remaining stump muscles or body movements. These systems make the patient&#8217;s life easier, especially in situations where functionality is at the forefront.<\/p><p>Functional prostheses may include complex joint systems and spring mechanisms. The user can bend the prosthetic finger or grasp objects by using their residual finger or wrist movements. This provides a great advantage for individuals wishing to continue their professional activities. Specialists in our clinic test the patient&#8217;s muscle strength and recommend the most suitable mechanical model.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7929323 lux-ai-heading lux-ai-h3 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7929323\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Body-Powered_Mechanical_Systems\"><\/span>Body-Powered Mechanical Systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ca46ff cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ca46ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Body-powered mechanical finger prostheses operate without needing an external energy source. Remaining stump movements or wrist flexion are transmitted to the fingertips via a cable system or internal joints.

Fixation methods vary depending on the amputation level and the structure of the remaining tissue. If correct fixation is not performed, the prosthesis may slip or fall off during daily use.<\/p><p>Fixation techniques applied in our clinic prevent skin damage while providing maximum grip.

When the prosthesis is slipped onto the finger, the air inside is expelled, and a secure hold is ensured. This method is extremely practical as it does not require extra apparatus.<\/p><p>In some special cases, medical-grade adhesives or special fixation bandages can also be used as support. To protect skin health, all fixation materials used are chosen from dermatologically tested products.
