Abstract:
The infections of the terminal phalanx are always special. Diseases, tumors or virus infections can look very similar and can show similar symptoms. Many require a radiological, dermatological, histological or general physical clarification, some need no surgery and in some surgery is contraindicated. If surgery is necessary, the exact incision is particularly important. A surgical approach set only a few millimeters wrong, can have catastrophic consequences at the fingertip. Differential diagnoses and the consequences of wrong incisions are shown.
