Abstract

Fingertip is the most important part of the finger. It has been described by Moberg as an organ of sensibility or the third eye. Injuries of the fingertips are very frequent as a result of industrial and domestic accidents which can result in permanent disability. We provide our experience about the indications, surgical technique and outcome of subcutaneous pulp flap in management of fingertip.
