An amputation of the tip of the second digit with loss of the distal tuft refers to the surgical removal of the very end of the second finger, specifically affecting the portion that includes the distal tuft, which is the bony and soft tissue structure at the tip of the finger. This type of amputation can result from trauma, severe injury, or medical conditions that necessitate the removal of the fingertip.
