  • It's common to crush the tip of the finger in a door or between two objects.

  • If everything moves and works properly and the fingertip isn't unstable, then the body usually just needs time to heal.

  • When there is bleeding or a piece of the tip is missing, surgery might be needed and it's best to see a hand surgeon.
