Upper extremity amputations are common. Fortunately, most of these involve loss of only a finger or portion thereof. Hand and upper limb surgeons are best suited to lead the team and help these patients following these injuries. Proximal amputations can be devastating for the patient, but recent prosthetic advances have helped many patients lead a better life and, often, return to activities they were involved in before their amputation. The purpose of this article is to review the current prostheses available for upper extremity amputees.
