Finger prosthesis is more acceptable by the patient when it allows some of the movement in the prosthesis along with the restoration of a natural appearance to the lost structures of the patient. This article describes a custom-fabricated, custom-colored prostheses made from silicone elastomers with a simple attachment to make the prosthesis functional to imitate some of the movement.
