Fingertip injuries, particularly those resulting from motorbike chain accidents, pose significant challenges due to their impact on daily life activities. This retrospective study conducted at B&B Hospital in Kathmandu from January 2018 to December 2022 aimed to explore the epidemiology and management of motorbike chain-related fingertip injuries. Among the 256 cases of fingertip injuries studied, 136 were attributed to motorbike chain accidents. Males comprised the majority of cases, and the index and middle fingers were the most frequently injured. Various surgical procedures were employed for treatment, with V–Y Plasty being the most common. These findings underscore the complexity of managing these injuries and highlight the importance of preventive measures and patient-centered care. |
