Transphalangeal amputations usually involve the four fingers in similar or slightly varying degrees. Most often these patients need no device but they may desire cosmetic fingers. These can be fitted easily when at least half of the proximal phalanx remains for each finger.
Amputations of the fingertip may be: Partial — some structures remain attached. Complete — the entire fingertip is removed.
It describes a hand that has lost a significant degree of prehension through a wide array of amputations, involving all digits proximal to the functional length except in one finger or in two digits, including the thumb.

OSHA clarified that the loss of a fingertip is considered an amputation and is reportable. “An amputation does not require loss of bone,” the agency said.
5,6 In a complete amputation, there are no tissues, ligaments, muscles or other anatomical structures connecting the amputated part to the body. A partial amputation is one in which an anatomical structure, such as a ligament, tendon or muscle, is still intact between the body and the amputated anatomy.
Common types of amputation involve:Above-knee amputation, removing part of the thigh, knee, shin, foot and toes.Below-knee amputation, removing the lower leg, foot and toes.Arm amputation.Hand amputation.Finger amputation.Foot amputation, removing part of the foot.Toe amputation.
What is amputation? Amputation is the complete removal of an injured or deformed body part. An amputation may be the result of a traumatic injury or may be the result of a planned operation where the finger must be removed.
In a finger example, ray amputations are the removal of an entire finger along with the corresponding metacarpal bones in the hand. They are same-day surgeries with the patient going home with a bulky soft dressing. The recoveries can vary, but light use of the hand is almost immediate.
Acquired absence of other finger(s) ICD-10-CM Z89. 022 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
Anatomical Parts The index finger, (also referred to as forefinger, pointer finger, trigger finger, digitus secundus, digitus II, and many other terms), is the first finger and the second digit of a human hand. It is located between the first and third digits, between the thumb and the middle finger.

Recovery can take several weeks. Your finger may be sensitive to cold and painful for a year or more. You probably will have a splint to protect your finger as it heals. It is very important that you wear the splint exactly as your doctor tells you.
Most minor finger cuts heal within 2–4 weeks. Deeper cuts or those requiring medical attention or surgery will take longer to heal.
Digit amputations are most commonly performed for bite wounds to the digit or for traumatic degloving, shearing, or crush injuries.
The fingertip has a remarkable ability to heal, and new skin can regrow to repair the wound in a few weeks. In some cases, a skin graft or tissue flap surgery is needed to cover a larger area of tissue loss. See images below for a surgical case.
