Medical Conditions - Fingertip Injury

"A fingertip injury is common and can happen at home, work, or at play. Crush injuries, lacerations from sharp objects, sports injuries, bleeding beneath the nail bed, fingertip numbness if nerves are damaged, and fingertip pain and swelling are the common causes of fingertip injuries. Fingertip injuries can affect the bones at the ends of the fingers (distal phalanges), the fingernails, or the soft pads of the fingers. Treatments for fingertip injuries include closed reduction, hematoma decompression, splinting, nailbed repair, and surgery. "
