Hello,

• Stable and unstable fractures are two types of fingertip fracture, and treatment for a fingertip fracture depends on the location, as well as whether it's stable or not.
• Taping the fractured finger with an adjacent intact finger, may treat a stable fracture. But unstable fractures require immobilization.
• After your doctor aligns the fracture or reduces it, they can apply a splint, and If your fracture is unstable or displaced, then your doctor may need to perform a surgery.
• Surgery stabilizes the fingertip fracture when you have:

1. multiple fractures
2. loose bone fragments
3. a joint injury
4. damage to the ligaments or tendons
5. unstable, displaced, or open fractures
6. an impaction fracture
