What is important to check clinically in a case like this?
If there is any concern about compromise to the neurovascular supply to the distal aspect of this injury (i.e. finger tip) - urgent referral to plastics or hand surgical services is advised. That is as long as you still have the tip!
Complete transverse fracture of the left fifth distal phalanx with distal displacement. Soft tissue injury also visible. No other bony injury.
