Abstract
The management of finger tip injuries is controversial. We sent out to review the long term outcome on conservative treatment with Silver Sulphadiazine dressings. 21 patients were reviewed at between 2 and 8 years after injury. All patients were satisfied with the treatment and the cosmetic results were good. We recommend this method of treatment.
