摘 要:Sir,Fingertip amputation injuries compromise the sensation,function,and appearance of the hand.They are often exquisitely painful and take a substantial amount of time to heal,causing significant functional disability.Conservative management of these injuries may result in decreased range of motion,hypo-or hyperesthesia,loss of pulp contour,scarring,and other long-term sequelae.[1,2]In addition,they may prolong patient discomfort with dressing changes,hindering adherence with wound therapy regimens,especially in the presence of multiple finger injuries.
