From the Department of Hand Surgery, University of Sydney, Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia

A total of seven antenna procedures for hooknail deformity were performed between 1990 and 2000. At a mean follow-up of 3 years 4 months there were no major complications, all patients had an improvement in their deformity (subjectively and objectively) and were pleased with their results. Some residual deformity remained in all cases including shortening of the nail, contour defect of the pulp and flattening or residual curvature of the nail.

Key Words: hook nail • fingertip • local flap
