Fingertip Injuries

Injured components may include skin, bone, nail, nailbed, tendon, and the pulp, the padded area of the fingertip. The skin on the palm side of our fingertips is specialized in that it has many more nerve endings than most other parts of our body. These nerve endings enable the fine sensation we have in our fingertips, and they can also be damaged. When this specialized skin is injured, exact replacement may be difficult.
