title: Nailplasty using a distally based ulnar finger dorsum flap.
abstract: A case of reconstruction of the nail fold and the release of the scar contracture proximal to the nail matrix using a distally based ulnar finger dorsum flap and skin grafting is presented. An aesthetically fine nail fold was obtained, and the deformity of the nail plate was corrected by the release of the scar contracture.
