ABSTRACT
Fingertip injuries can involve the soft tissue, the distal phalanx, the nail, or the nail bed, all of which may be injured alone or in combination. Although the anatomy and extent of the injury dictate the treatment options, numerous techniques have been described to deal with fingertip injuries. The surgeon needs to formulate a treatment plan together with the patient, taking into consideration the patient’s history, occupation, hand dominance, and desired outcome.
