Abstract

Traumatisms of distal extremities are frequent in children. They can associate fingertip skin, bone and nail complex injuries. Their severity level is very variable, from simple subungual bruise to distal amputation. Initial care needs careful repair of injured structures. Secondary treatment of sequelae is much more difficult.
