Abstract:
In pediatric patients, nail unit anesthesia is frequently required for procedures including matrixectomy or nail avulsion. However, nail unit anesthesia is very painful and requires a significant amount of time to take complete effect, causing a great deal of distress for most pediatric patients. By targeting the palmar and dorsal digital nerves in the distal part of the fingers, our method enables fast, simple, and less painful anesthesia.
