Abstract
- Meticulous debridement before reconstructive surgery for fingertip amputation, one of the most common hand injuries, is often crucial for better prognoses. Complete debridement to prevent abnormal formation of the nail plate will result in better quality of life for patients with a small remnant germinal matrix. The author will report two cases where nail plates formed abnormally after reconstruction of an amputated fingertip.
