Correction of Pincer Nail Deformity Using Dermal Grafting

Abstract: Pincer nail deformity is characterized by excessive curvature and distortion of the nail in the transverse dimension, and particularly at the distal part of the nail plate. This deformity leads to pinching off and loss of soft tissue in the affected digit, causing severe pain. Many treatment methods have been proposed; however, an effective long-term method preserving the nail matrix has not yet been established. We present here a case of pincer nail in the left thumb in a 49-year-old woman who was treated suc… Show more

“…In the “zigzag nail bed flap” method, after an oblique incision into the hyponychium down to a subperiosteal level, the nail bed is lifted off of the distal phalanx, in order to remove any osteophytes. Flap edges are incised in a zigzag fashion, in order to widen the nail bed by unfolding the flap . A similar effect may be achieved by augmenting the nail wall, as in dermal grafting .…”

“…Bei der „Zigzag‐Nailbed‐Flap“‐Methode wird das Nagelbett nach fischmaulartiger Inzision des Hyponychiums subperiostal von der Endphalanx abgehoben, um Osteophyten abzutragen. Der Lappenrand wird zickzackartig eingeschnitten, um durch Entfaltung des Lappens das Nagelbett zu verbreitern . Ein ähnlicher Effekt kann durch Substanzzunahme des Nagelwalls wie bei dermal grafting erzielt werden .…”
