Application of Osseointegrated Implants in the Reconstructive Treatment of Patients with Amputated Finger Stumps

Exoprosthetic rehabilitation based on the use of osseointegrated implants is considered the most optimal method of restorative treatment for finger amputations. One of the main factors hindering its further development is the excessive brevity and fragmentation of information in specialized literature concerning the use of osseointegrated implants in exoprosthetics. This ultimately results in a lack of information on this issue among medical professionals and, consequently, in poorer rehabilitation outcomes in patients with finger stumps amputations. A search of publications from the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was conducted for the past 10 years. The types and designs of osseointegrated implants for exoprosthetic replacement of lost fingers are presented. Existing technologies for the placement of osseointegrated implants and the functional assessment of exoprosthetic outcomes are reviewed. Potential risks of complications are evaluated. Promising directions for further research and development are highlighted.
