I lost half my finger when I was 3 - Thursday, February 26, 2009 1:27 PM
When I was 3 I lost half of my finger, it was a fairly clean cut I believe, but I was curious if there were any options for me on making it longer / more normal? I mean I will not lie I am a tad self conscious about it as missing limbs always turn heads.. I looked at the Toe - Finger solution, but I prefer not losing toes to replace one limb.. If anyone can help that would be awesome.. Thanks

Here are some pics

I do not know of any other procedure to extend the length of the finger with living tissue. If the toe method is not an option you could always consider prosthetics. You might want to schedule a consultation with a hand specialist. Check out the following link
