Finger and partial nger amputations are some of the most frequently encountered forms of partial hand loss. The loss of a nger can produce functional disturbances in one's life apart from the psychological trauma that one goes through. When surgical reconstruction is contraindicated, prosthetic restoration of amputed nger with silicone materials is an alternative to eradicate the psychological, functional problems and thereby improving the patient's quality of life. This case report describes the steps of prosthetic rehabilitation of partially amputated nger with silicone prosthesis using room temperature vulcanized silicones.
