Dedos rotos

Definición:

Esta lesión implica trauma directo en uno o más dedos.

Nombres alternativos:

Lesión de los dedos por aplastamiento; aplastamiento de los dedos

Consideraciones generales:

Si se produce una lesión en la punta de un dedo que no involucre la articulación, puede que ésta no requiera asistencia médica. Incluso si el dedo está roto, se puede colocar una tablilla sin la recomendación de un médico.

Causas:

Los dedos pueden romperse por un golpe con un martillo, la puerta de un automóvil, una gaveta de escritorio, una pelota de béisbol o cualquier otro impacto.
