A Middle finger crush injury
A middle finger crush injury for a manual labourer can be debilitating and require a significant amount of time off work. Good follow up with the treating surgeon and compliance with therapy can assist with a timely return to work.
These pictures illustrate well how these injuries recover and particularly the prolonged time it takes for nail growth to normalise. Permanent nail deformity is a common complication of such injuries.
The treatment of these injuries can be performed under local anaesthesia in the rooms.
