Fingertip fractures
-
Fingertip (tuft) fractures occur in the distal phalanx. The usual mechanism is a crush injury (eg, in a door jamb).
(See also Overview of Fractures.)
Fingertip fractures are common. They range from simple transverse fractures to complex comminution of the tuft (the flat, wide area at the tip of the distal phalanges). They are often associated with a nail bed laceration, although the nail itself is frequently intact.
