Nail reconstruction using free nail grafts and vascularized nail flaps demonstrates high success rates. This study reviews 24 nail reconstruction procedures, highlighting effective surgical strategies for restoring nail form and function.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Nail reconstruction is a complex procedure with limited published literature.
  • This study reviews surgical techniques and outcomes for nail reconstruction over 23 years.

Observation:

  • 24 nail reconstruction operations were performed on 19 patients between 1973 and 1995.
  • Techniques included 14 free nail grafts and 10 vascularized nail flaps (long-pedicle, venous, and short-pedicle).

Findings:

  • A high survival rate of 96% (23 out of 24 nails) was achieved.
  • Good nail growth was observed in successful reconstructions, with only one free nail graft failure due to infection.

Implications:

  • The study details the evolution of nail reconstruction techniques.
