title: Surgical relocation of retracted eponychion.
abstract: Burn wound contracture of the dorsal side of fingers often leads to retraction of the nailfold with exposure of the growth zone of the nail. Disfigured nails, extremely annoying to the patients, are the results. A surgical procedure and clinical results of 50 cases (fingers) are reported and commented on.
