This. By all means. Can’t tell on my phone due to small photos, but it looks like exposed bone, meaning an open fracture, You don’t want infection or you’ll lose more of the finger. A repair can make it look and work better than you’d expect. Fortunately, sort of, most outdoorsmen get dinged up enough that our tetanus shots are current. Save the booze for when the ER bill comes. Glad it wasn’t worse.


Just noticed that you’re in Canada. The ER bill will be covered, eh?
