title: Nail degloving, a polyetiologic condition with 3 main patterns: A new syndrome.
abstract: Nail degloving refers to partial or total avulsion of the nail and surrounding tissue (perionychium).

Nail degloving represents the end result of a variety of insults to the nail apparatus, including trauma, dermatologic diseases, and drug reactions.
