Introduction/Background Mechanical prosthesis without control offer functional opportunity to practice activities requiring stably holding (i.e. cycling) while being using friendly. However, as far as we know, there are only a very limited amount of studies and publications available to date on that topic. The goal of our retrospective study was to identify benefits and interests of the use of mechanical prosthesis without control for children with agenesis or amputated forearm. Material and method The data were collected on medical files of 288 children born between 1965 and 2016. They all had unilateral agenesia or traumatic amputation of forearm. We only took into account patients using mechanical prosthesis without control. The statement outlines the statistical ages of wearing, years of establishment, wearing time and the activities carried out. Results One hundred and thirty-seven out of 288 children (49%) have used a mechanical prosthesis without control. Thirty-two out of these 137 patients are still wearing one in 2014. Between 2000 and 2014, 20 to 32 mechanical prosthesis without control were prescribed per year. The use of this prosthesis was between 1 and 15 years. The duration of the use of the mechanical prosthesis did not exceed 2 years for half of the patients. This prosthesis was usually worn between 3 and 7 years old, period during which the child is improving his psychomotor development. Children mainly use this prosthesis for cycling activity, followed by school handlings (hold a sheet of paper to cut, hold a ruler). Conclusion This new study confirms and refines results found in our previous study dated from 2007. If it seems unappropriate to wear it before 3 years old, the use of a mechanical prosthesis without control seems to help children to practice some well-targeted activities. |
