The Ideal

ABSTRACT Amputation of a finger will have considerable functional and psychological impact on an individual. Although prosthetic rehabilitation incorporating implants is considered an ideal treatment option, the patient may not give consent due to apprehension toward surgical procedures. The ideal prosthesis should replace the missing part of the finger so precisely that it would not draw the attention of the observer. Fabrication of such a prosthesis will require great technical and artistic expertise. This paper presents a case of prosthetic rehabilitation of an amputated finger using a silicone finger prosthesis. How to cite this article Fernandez T, Harshakumar K, Ravichandran R.

Digital Amputation

India is a vast country with a large number of individuals in the community with various disabilities. It had been estimated that there are roughly 0.62 amputees in India per thousand population. This translates to close to more than one million individuals with amputations. Digital amputation is a common injury. This very often results in extensive functional disability and a substantial psychological impact. More importantly, the outcome of digital dysfunction is detrimental to the patient's daily activities, such as buttoning a shirt or unlocking a door. Therefore, the overall goal for these patients is to rebuild a finger with the restoration of normal function, stability, length, and sensation. Prosthetic rehabilitation of amputated fingers is an attempt to rehabilitate aesthetics and limitedly function. A prosthesis will be a counterfeit body part that replaces a few of the work and presence of the absent a major aspect.

Fingers as organs of manipulation have an important role in function and aesthetics. Injuries to the fingers are common in accidents at home, work, and play or due to congenital and developmental defect. Irrespective of the aetiology, the loss of a finger has a considerable functional and psychological impact on an individual. In order to alleviate these problems, partial or complete finger prosthesis can be fabricated. This clinical report presents a method to fabricate finger prosthesis using digital photograph, poly methylemethacrylate acrylic and soft liner for a patient who has a partial finger loss caused due to trauma.

Primary Surgery

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare - and rectovaginal extragastrointestinal stromal tumours (RV-EGISTs) even rarer. We share a case of RV-EGIST, complemented by high-quality radiological and surgical images. A review of current literature pertaining to RV-EGIST is also included. Our case report highlights the diagnostic challenge presented by extragastrointestinal stromal tumours. Differentiated from overlapping pathologies only by targeted application of immunohistopathology and cytogenetics, the inclusion of RV-EGIST in the differential diagnosis of a rectovaginal tumour is essential to making this correct diagnosis. Primary surgery is the treatment of choice for RV-EGIST if complete cytoreduction can be achieved, combined with adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for those with high-risk features to further reduce rates of future recurrence.
