Abstract: | Fingertip injuries are a potential cause of significant morbidity within the workplace and the community. Although they account for a low proportion of ED presentations, importantly they can frequently be managed entirely by emergency staff. A literature review was undertaken to identify the epidemiology, the assessment process and the management options for fingertip injuries as relevant to emergency medicine. |
