Finger and partial finger amputations are commonly due to traumatic injuries. Rehabilitation of such patients with disabilities is a challenging task. The success of the prosthesis depends on the precision of planning the prosthesis, making the impression, carving the model and choosing the material that best suits the concerned circumstances. This clinical report portrays a method to fabricate silicone rubber prosthesis for a patient who has a partial finger loss caused due to trauma.
