Abstract:
Fractures of the distal phalanx are common. Injuries often include the surrounding soft tissues especially the nail bed and nail plate. The therapy must be done under consideration of fracture type and soft tissues. The result depends on the type of the fracture and the surrounding structures. After operative and conservative therapy, radiologically unsatisfying results and longer rehabilitation times are common.
