Injuries of the distal finger.
The distal finger is the most commonly injured part of the hand. Adequate initial care should lead to speedy recovery and minimal residual disability. Inadequate initial care or neglect upon the part of the patient can result in a painful and prolonged period of disability. The primary care physician sees and treats the vast majority of these injuries.
