Suggest Treatment For Infection On Finger Tip

What are my options for the pinky finger top joint bone infection? I did a MRI and this was the result. I had a but cut and it didn t heal right. I tried keeping it cleaned. I was hospitalized with heavy doses of IV antibiotics. This cleaned up the tissue but it went into the bone. There is redness and slight swelling and I can t bend the finger at the top joint. What should I do? Lose the top of finger? Surgery?
