RESUMO
Las amputaciones parciales de mano y dedos son lesiones relativamente poco frecuentes pero devastadoras por las consecuencias que provocan. Además, son más probables en pacientes varones jóvenes, especialmente en el ámbito laboral. Es importante en el ámbito de la Rehabilitación conocer todas las opciones disponibles actualmente en el mercado que puedan resolver las necesidades de los pacientes. Se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica en las diferentes plataformas médicas para actualizar las opciones protésicas actualmente disponibles en el mercado. Actualmente existen diferentes prótesis para la amputación parcial de manos y dedos, diferenciadas en pasivas estéticas o funcionales, impulsadas por el cuerpo o impulsadas por energía externa. También existen prótesis específicas para diferentes actividades como deportivas o laborales. Los niveles de amputación son importantes para decidir qué tipo de prótesis usar, así como el nivel de actividad esperado. Es preciso un tratamiento multidisciplinar para conseguir la máxima funcionalidad.(AU)
Partial hand and finger amputations are relatively rare but devastating due to the consequences they provoque. In addition, they are more likely than lower limb amputations in car accidents, work accidents and by certain weapons of war. Men are going to have a much higher risk of traumatic amputation than women, with a rate 6.6 times higher. Fitting can be a complex process and a challenge for professionals. For this reason, it is important to know all the options available on the market that can meet the needs of patients, from cosmetic to myoelectric prostheses. Fitting requires the coordinated activity of a multiassistant clinical work team, the center of the team being the person who has suffered the amputation, who must have all the information possible to be able to actively participate in decision-making.(AU)
