Partial Hand Amputations and Prosthetics: Maximizing Intuitive Control.

While partial hand amputations are life-altering events, advances in prosthetic technologies have allowed for great strides in optimizing function of the residual hand. The Starfish procedure has further enhanced the capabilities of myoelectric prosthetics by enabling independent digital manipulation. When coupled with thoughtful nerve and soft tissue management, patients can regain meaningful use in an otherwise devastating injury.
