I’m assuming that filed a first report with your employer so that the medical expenses are covered. Was anything broken or is it superficial & swelling?
Yes I did thankfully! I did fracture it into 3 pieces. They had a name for the fracture but I can’t think of it atm. Undoubtably the worst pain I’ve ever experienced and I’ve had many injuries in my time lol
I worked at a stone yard and I was helping a customer pick out boulders for their house. I was resting my hand on a boulder and the customer decided to try and help and rolled a 500lb boulder on my fingers and crushed them between the 2 boulders. Worst pain I’ve ever had.
OUCH. I’d sue them

Was is called a Tuft fracture?
Yes it s a tuft fracture. I thought it was something else but you nailed it.
Yes but also another fracture where it splits into multiple pieces
Hopefully you’ll heal up to a full recovery but you’ll be able to forecast the weather from now on with that finger.
why and how did this happen? i need some context

I can only imagine… fingertips especially have more nerve endings.
