Umm, either that's not true, or I'm a special case.
When I was a younger lad, I had my left hand crushed and the first digit of the pointer and 'bird' finger were completely obliterated beyond repair.
The powers that be, (myself included) opted to install surgical fiberglass resin implants in place of the destroyed bones and sew the fingertips back together.
That was over 18 years ago, and my 'bird' finger still looks like a orange that someone stepped on and super-glued closed.
