Abstract
Partial amputation of the hand has important functional repercussions, both physical and psychological, in affected individuals. We report the case of a patient with disarticulation of the second, third, fourth and fifth fingers of the dominant right hand, to demonstrate to rehabilitation professionals how prosthetic fitting can be carried out, with the different phases of the intervention and some of the prosthetic solutions used. The primary aim is to achieve functional independence and reincorporation of patients to their daily activities in the workplace, family, leisure and social lives.
