Intervention 1: replace fingernail or substitute
Following debridement and suturing of the nail bed, the fingernail was replaced and secured with a figure-of-eight suture using Vicryl Rapide™ (Bridgewater, NJ) suture. A low-adherent dressing was applied. If the fingernail could not be replaced (for example owing to damage or loss), a substitute was chosen by the operating surgeon (such as foil).
