I have?a patient referred to my office with a partial hand amputation secondary to a Dry Cleaners accident. She had the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers amputated at the MCP's. I would like to fit her with something functional if possible. I have contacted TouchBionics and they are obtaining information on the modular system. This being a workman's comp situation, funding will be limited. TouchBionics may be too expensive.
Are there other functional?prosthetics to pursue as well as consideration of a silicone cosmetic hand? She would like something that she can use to return back to work. Thank you in advance for any assistance in this unusual case.
