Nail Reconstruction With Nail Bed Graft From Big Toe: A Case Report.

Fingertip injuries with loss of the nail bed can lead to permanent deformities or absent nail formation. This is a case report of a 17-year-old female who sustained a blunt injury to the left second index finger with nail avulsion. The patient underwent nail reconstruction with a split-thickness graft from the sterile matrix of the left great toe. Postoperatively both the donor and the recipient sites appear to be healing appropriately. Since nail reconstruction with toe graft is rarely performed, this case is of particular interest due to its excellent postoperative outcomes.
