  • Nail Plate Disruption

Interventions

Nail Bed Repair

1. Block involved digit with 3cc 1% lidocaine injected subcutaneously over volar and dorsal metacarpophalangeal joint 2. Apply tourniquet to base of finger if desired 3. Remove nail using freer/hemostats 4. Irrigate wound with at least 500cc normal saline 5. Repair nail bed laceration with 5-0 chromic or monocryl suture 6. Stent eponychium with native nail or fashion substitute from foil suture packet and secure with 2 sutures 7. Dress finger with bacitracin, xeroform, and 2" kling wrap 8. Splint finger as needed with alumifoam splint (apply splint to volar side of finger so as to avoid pressure to nail bed) 9. Repair any other lacerations as needed

1. If there is a subungual hematoma \>50% of the nail, trephinate the nail plate using an 18G needle 2. Irrigate wound with at least 500cc normal saline 3.
