Abstract
Children with damage to the nail phalanges of the fingers, according to our data, make up about 1.2% of the total number of those who first applied for an injury. Fractures of the distal phalanx of the fingers, especially with inadequate treatment, sometimes lead to post-traumatic deformities, contractures in the interphalangeal joint, and the formation of rough scars in the area of the fingertip. This is not only unfavorable in cosmetic terms, but is also fraught with a significant decrease in the function of the hand, primarily touch and fine grip.
