Phalangeal Fractures and Fingertip Injuries.

ABSTRACT

A comprehensive analysis of the assessment, diagnosis, and management of phalangeal fractures and fingertip injuries should emphasize the importance of achieving the right balance between undertreatment and overtreatment. Phalangeal injuries are complex, requiring an in-depth understanding of hand anatomy, fracture patterns, and treatment options to optimize patient outcomes. A thorough examination of proximal and middle phalangeal fractures and fingertip injuries, including those to the nail bed and distal phalanx, is important. A systematic approach to addressing the most prevalent injuries in this category should be implemented while highlighting the need for patient-specific approaches to treatment and a multidisciplinary perspective to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
