	Buddy taping is the process of stabilizing an injured finger or toe to an adjacent uninjured digit using tape. Soft padding such as gauze can be used between the two digits but is not always utilized. The healthy digit serves as a splint which largely hold the two digits in an anatomically functional position and allows for healing.		[[File:Buddy Tape.gif\|thumb]]
