dc.description.abstract | Recently, two patients have presented with partial hand amputations in which the digits and distal ends of the metacarpals were missing, but the thumb was intact. One of these was a child with a congenital absence and the other an adult with loss of digits through a farming accident. The child has been fitted with two different systems, the first based on the motor and finger group of an Otto Bock size 5 Electrohand 2000, and the second based on our own, in-house, design. The adult has been fitted with mechanical fingers having multiple locking positions. The prostheses have been used extensively. | |
