  Broken fingers are common hand injuries. These injuries are also called phalanx fractures and they can occur from a variety of injuries such as a fall, a motor vehicle collision, or sports injury. […] Many breaks or fractures in the fingers can be misdiagnosed as just a sprain or a jammed finger. […] A fracture which heals in bad alignment (crooked) can affect the patients grip strength and hand function. Fractures which injure the joint surface are more prone to complications such as finger stiffness and arthritis. […] Surgery does not really heal the fracture; it simply allows the bones to be held in good alignment while the body bridges the fracture site with new bone.

  Finger tip injuries can be caused by many things. They can be crushed, closed in a door, or hit by a hammer. A heavy object can be dropped onto the finger. They can also be cut by a kitchen knife, power tool or another sharp object. […] Broken finger tip: This is very common. This can be treated with a splint or temporary metal pins to hold the bone fragments in proper position. If the damage is too severe, amputation of the finger tip may be necessary.

  Fingertip injuries can be classified by the mechanism of injury or the level of injury based on the frequently used Allen classification system. The most common mechanisms seen include the following: […] Crush injury due to forces of compression. An example is a door closing on the finger, injury with a hammer, and objects being dropped on fingers. This can present as a closed or an open injury and can be associated with distal phalanx fractures. […] A laceration is secondary to a household instrument (knife, scissors, and cans) or works tools (rotatory saw) involving pulp or nail and/or the nail bed complex. […] Amputations involve both soft tissue loss and partial or complete distal phalanx loss. Such injuries can cause cosmetic and functional defects. […] Other injury mechanisms are sudden flexion or extension forces leading to distal tendon avulsion injuries.
