The course of the bullet was anteroposterior through the base of the proximal phalanx of the middle finger, with a velocity of long range. It practically punctured the bones and split off a few fragments without displacement.

The wound of entrance would be much the same as the wound of exit, with the latter, but a little larger.

Treatment is conservative.
