The present disclosure relates to peripheral nerve interface system and method for prosthetic hand control, which may measure, analyze and control efferent motor nerve signals and afferent sensory nerve signals by regenerating a peripheral nerve and control an artificial prosthetic hand by means of the measurement, analysis and control of the signals. For this, the peripheral nerve interface system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a nerve conduit connected to a terminal of a damaged peripheral nerve at a cut body portion; a prosthesis for substituting for the cut body portion; and a peripheral nerve interface unit electrically connected to the nerve conduit and the prosthesis to restore a function of the damaged peripheral nerve and control operations of the prosthesis by transmitting and receiving signals of the damaged peripheral nerve.
