Actually - the most advanced prosthetic limb today is this http://bebionic.com/the_hand. And it isn't anywhere near the level of tech of Anakin's mechanical hand. The only loss of function he has with his hand is the lack of sense of touch over the surface of all of his arm (and even in some areas, like strength areas, his mechanical arm surpasses the abilities of a human flesh arm.)

The Bebionic arm, while cool and impressive for us, just doesn't have the same mobility and function of a human hand, much less the mechanical arm Anakin has in canon (to use one of the features of the thumb on the Bebionic arm, you have to use your other hand to position the digit first and the thumb only has two positions).

I'm cool with saying something is like the Bebionic arm with a few more bells and whistles (cuz experimental university and all) for the purpose of this plot, though.
