description | BACKGROUND: Fingertip injuries are extremely common. Out of the various available reconstructive options, one needs to select an option which achieves a painless fingertip with durable and sensate skin cover. The present analysis was conducted to evaluate the management and outcome of fingertip injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 150 cases of fingertip Injuries of patients aged six to 65 years managed over a period of two years. Various reconstructive options were considered for the fingertip lesions greater than or equal to 1 cm(2). The total duration of treatment varied from two to six weeks with follow-up from two months to one year. RESULTS: The results showed preservation of finger length and contour, retention of sensation and healing without significant complication. CONCLUSION: The treatment needs to be individualized and all possible techniques of reconstruction must be known to achieve optimal recovery. |
