I have a patient with a thumb amputation at the MCP, and fingers at the PIP's of his right hand all with full ROM and strength. We were hoping to provide a thumb post type prosthesis and we're concerned with donning as he uses a hook prosthesis on his left. We have a couple ideas, but If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
