Thirty-three patients with single and multiple digital amputations were fitted with a total of 50 prosthetic silicone fingers over a mean period of 4 years. The prosthetic fingers were custom made using a special method which has been modified at our institution. This study provides a detailed analysis of patients' occupational and cosmetic usage of and satisfaction with their prostheses, as well as describing the fabrication technique.
