Finger injuries are one of the common problems presenting in any plastic
surgery emergency and are often neglected [1]. Here we share our experience
of treating finger injuries in the setting of a tertiary care centre in
government sector in India. We managed 50 patients in our hospital and did
various surgical (split thickness skin graft, flaps) or non-surgical procedures
on the patient’s according to the patient demand and situation. Healing by
secondary intention was best for small wounds of less than 1cm2,in terms of
cosmesis and function. Local advancement flaps proved better for larger
wounds.
