A phalanx is any bone of the fingers or toes. A phalanx fracture is a crack or complete break in one of these bones. A phalanx fracture can happen when your finger or toe is hit, pulled, jammed, crushed, or twisted. It is also possible for a tumor or cyst to weaken the bone, causing it to break easily when injured.
A tuft fracture refers to a fracture or break through the very tip of the bone that sits under the fingernail (distal phalanx). This can occur with a crush injury, such as when a finger is accidently caught in a closing door.

Fractures of the proximal phalanx are usually caused by a direct blow to the dorsum of the hand, resulting in a transverse fracture. These fractures are usually unstable. Twisting or torque applied to the proximal phalanx may cause oblique or spiral fractures, which are prone to shortening or malrotation.
The middle phalanx of the finger is the middle or second of the three bones in each finger when counting from the hand to the tip of the finger. The middle phalanx has joints with the proximal phalanx and with the distal phalanx of the finger.

Tuft fractures are treated by caring for the accompanying soft-tissue injury and splinting of the finger to prevent further discomfort or injury.
