Finger Injuries/Amputations

Finger injuries can result from being smashed, cut, ground, electrocuted, or even severed. Fingers are very complex and consist of skin, nails, nerves, veins, arteries, tendons, ligaments, and bone. Thus, these injuries can be minor to severe as in the case of a crush or amputation. Amputations can be partial, meaning only part of the finger or thumb is lost, or it can be complete. These types of injuries can result in chronic (long-term) dysfunction or pain.
