Fractures of the fingertip cannot be treated without fixation. In clinical practice, we often see patients who accidentally pinch their fingers, resulting in a fracture of the fingertip, and in a significant number of cases, a trauma, which requires fixation. This is because of the soft tissue surrounding the finger tip and the possibility of avulsion fracture of the extensor or flexor tendon attachment point near the interphalangeal joint. If an avulsion fracture of the extensor or flexor tendon is not fixed, the fracture is likely to heal abnormally and may even cause functional limitation of the extensor or flexor finger in the future. Even if a fingertip fracture is not a tendon attachment point, if it is not immobilized it is likely that the fracture will not heal due to the patient’s activity, and if the fracture does not heal some pain may remain. Therefore, small splints and finger braces are recommended for most cases of interphalangeal fractures to facilitate the recovery of the fingertip fracture and avoid sequelae.
