Fingernails have an important role in hand function. They protect the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of the fingers and increase the sensitivity of the fingertip. The fingernails facilitate the pinch of small objects, allow scratching, and have a fundamental cosmetic role. There are so many treatment options for treatment of nail avulsion such as grafting, nail transplantation, and dermal graft.
