Abstract

Injuries of the fingertip and nailbed require treatment to minimize pain, speed healing, and shorten the time of functional impairment. Alternatives for therapy include simple dressing changes, graft coverage, and flap transposition. The choice of treatment is based on the location and severity of the injury.
