any ideas? amputation vs debridement
the mummified tip of the finger was teased loose with a freer in order to save as much tissue as possible, a rongeur was used to remove the last bit of it. the stump was obliquely fractured and at this point a blade was used to dissect out the distal spike-like portion of the proximal phalanx. the wound was left opened and was covered with neosporin ointment:confused:
