Course Description:
Fingertip injuries are the most common type of hand injury and are responsible for 20% of all
ER visits. Proper management of these injuries is critical to restore functional hand use and
return patients to unrestricted activity performance. This course will help viewers develop a greater understanding of types of fingertip injuries and
anatomical structures involved as well as teach viewers how to distinguish between various
treatment options based on injury variants. Wound healing strategies based upon specific patient
presentation are explored and options to integrate appropriate therapeutic management
throughout the course of treatment are presented. In this course, strategies to prioritize protective
options, wound care, and desensitization techniques to maximize patient outcomes are
emphasized. This course will help occupational and physical therapists working with patients with fingertip
injuries in the outpatient or inpatient setting develop strategies to facilitate successful patient
outcomes.
