Osseous changes due to a false aneurysm of the proper digital artery: a case report

A 24-year-old black man had a laceration and subsequent pseudoaneurysm of the radial digital artery of the small finger. Two months after the injury, the vessel, a lacerated radial digital nerve, and a flexor digitorum profundus were all repaired. A depression was noted in the middle phalanx at surgery. Osseous reconstruction of the defect in the middle phalanx was shown on follow-up x-ray films.
