| ABSTRACT |
|
Injury of the nail bed is commonly encountered in the emergency department. Despite the importance of initial management, difficulties such as long duration of operation and need of skill hinder the practice. Tissue repair with tissue adhesives, like 2-N-butylcyanoacrylate (Histoacryl(TM)), is a common replacement for suture repair.
Here we describe a case of nail bed injury, which was repaired with Histoacryl(TM), and the method of repair. |
