Abstract
Fingertip crushing injuries are severe hand injuries. It is a very common industrial injury. Treatment goals include reducing pain, optimizing the healing time, preserving local tissue, pulp sensitivity and finger length, preventing neuromas and restoring an appearance that is acceptable to the patient. A cross-finger flap is a simple and reliable flap among the various reconstructive options available for fingertip injuries.
