Fingertip injuries are the most common injury to the hand. The nail represents a unique structure in the human body providing in fine pinch, stability and protection. Management of fingertip injuries can often be a challenging experience, especially in presence of complex lesion that include soft tissue loss and distal phalanx injury.

The goal of treatment is restoration of a painless, functional digit with protective sensation. Copyright © 2023 SFCM. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
