Nail Bed Reconstruction with Split-Thickness Nail Bed GraftsFrom the Department of Hand Surgery, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore Correspondence: Dr F. C. Yong, Department of Hand Surgery, Singapore General Hospital, Outram Road, Singapore 0316. The results of reconstruction of chronic post-traumatic nail deformities are thought to be unpredictable. We have reviewed eight patients treated by split-thickness nail bed grafts for deformities arising from defects in the sterile matrix. Appearance, adherence and function were improved in all cases, with no significant morbidity of the donor area.
