Abstract:
Nail apparatus deformities associated with burn injuries can cause significant functional and aesthetic concerns. The majority of perionychial deformities result from eponychial retraction and scarring, whereas a minority are due to direct damage to the regenerative part of the nail complex. A variety of different techniques have been described for reconstruction including the use of local flaps, skin/composite grafts, and microvascular transfer. The authors review the different strategies available in the current burns literature and present an algorithm for the management of perionychial burn deformities.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
