Dear Colleagues,
We are working with a gentleman who lost the 2-4 fingers of his left hand
in a work place accident. He can oppose his 5th finger and thumb and has
good range of motion in his wrist although his strength is diminished. He
would like to return to his job as a helicopter mechanic, he needs a
prosthesis that can get dirty and have maximum pinch. He would prefer a
device that we could repair in house but is willing to consider other
options. Please advise as to the best system for this patient, thank you in
advance for your input.
Sincerely,
Darrel Templeton CO CPA
