    I have a right hand with only 2 fingers and they really don't work to good. I am thinking of going below elbow and I am thinking with a prosthetic I can do mych better. I also use crutches for walking so I may go just a little shorter on the bone to get more skin to cover for better padding. What do you think?

    That was the option cause the two fingers don't really work and being that I also use crutches it is just trying to figure out where to cut. I am trying to get feed back cause I don't want to loose more body parts but if they can't fix it and just hangs there a prosthetic would do better. That is how I am trying to make sence of it all.
    Well yes that does make sense.... whatever is going to give you better quality of life can be a good thing, as long as the positives out weigh the negatives.
    I wouldn't want to loose any more body parts,as Expert has mentioned see a surgeon he or she can give you the options.All the best to you.
    We are not medical doctors here so our suggestions are amateur speculation.

    That said, I think this is a question you should ask your doctor. Possibly even a psychological evaluation of doing this to make sure you are ready for something as life altering as this. there's always the good and bad of every decision.

    edit:

    BTW: I met a guy back in the 70's that played piano, he had two fingers and a thumb on his right hand and a stump on his left arm, he played boogie woogie with the best of them, remarkable, also, I saw a guy in a music store in Illinois that had no arms play a guitar with his toes by laying the guitar on the floor and sitting on a stool. People can do remarkable feats under remarkable odds.
    George, here's an inspiration for you.. This young girl plays a Claderman piece on piano and she has NO FINGERS on her right hand..
