Amputations affect both the physical and the psychological aspects of
an individual, causing significant impact on self-esteem.
The main causes of
finger amputations are work-related accidents with dangerous machinery, road
traffic accidents, and animal bites, as well as systemic diseases such as
diabetes. This report aims to describe a simple technique for fabrication of
implant-retained finger prosthesis with a modified base of the retention system.
METHODS: The O-Ring retention system was used with a
modified hexagon-shaped base and a metallic capsule adapted to the acrylic resin
to attach the prosthesis to the implant. OUTCOMES:
The prosthesis
was made with silicone, and after osseointegration, it was installed without
complications, leading to a patient satisfied with the end result and encouraged
to return to social life. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Restoring self-esteem in the patient and static and functional rehabilitation.
