Brief Answer:
Anger

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

This sounds like an open fracture of the finger with bone loss.

An xray will be needed to find out the amount of bone loss saint treatment options like Conservative, screen, plate and screws etc. The finger wound will need to be washed thoroughly before putting in metalwork.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
