One-stage reconstruction of the nailfold.
Management of nailfold deformity is a difficult problem, with only seven documented techniques of reconstruction to date. We report 17 who underwent nailfold reconstruction with use of a one-stage, dorsal rotational flap with full thickness skin graft. Results show increases in range of motion and improved nail appearance.
