I've always wondered why we cant just attach an artificial hand to the end of the bone,and use the remaining muscles and tendons in the arms to operate mechanical fingers, obviously a major obstacle would be a germ barrier for the bits to pass through, but surely it could be done somehow, the hand is mostly operated by muscles in the arms, and you would keep full control just like your real hand.
