title: Treatment of fingertip trauma.
abstract: Function of the fingertips is dependent upon having adequate sensibility and durable skin coverage. Fingertip trauma, whether a clean laceration or a crushing avulsion, may result in further injury, possible permanent disability, or in a functional well-healed finger. The determining factors are the initial injury and the adequacy of treatment.
