Stubbed finger osteomyelitis.

J A Yellin, R B Towbin, R A Kaufman

    The Journal of Trauma
    |August 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Forceful hyperextension can cause Salter II fractures in the distal phalanx. Stubbed finger injuries may hide compound fractures, requiring antibiotics if the nail bed is involved.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Traumatology
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Distal phalangeal fractures are common injuries.
    • Hyperextension injuries can lead to specific fracture patterns.

    Observation:

    • Forceful hyperextension of the distal phalanx can cause Salter II fractures.
    • The close anatomical relationship between bone and nail can mask compound fractures in 'stubbed finger' injuries.

    Findings:

    • 'Stubbed finger' injuries may present as inapparent compound fractures.
    • Distal phalangeal fractures associated with nail bed injuries warrant antibiotic treatment.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of occult compound fractures is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Prophylactic antibiotics are recommended for distal phalangeal fractures with nail bed involvement to prevent infection.
