Nail Extraction
Nail Extraction
Nail Extraction
Finger nails are used for scratching, in defense, and, more obviously, to pick up small objects.
However, the nail also protects the fingertip, contributes to tactile sensation, and plays an
important role in the regulation of peripheral circulation. An abnormal nail is both a cosmetic and
functional problem in that it catches on objects, particularly cloth, and causes finger pain and
damage to the object.
Indications
Nail deformities that require nail removal can occur secondary to anything that causes injury or
deformation of the nail bed. This may include infection,[1] self-mutilation, tumor, or trauma.[2]
Onychomycosis
(fungal
infection
of
the
nail)[4]
(see

Chronic recurrent paronychia (inflammation of the nailfold)[5] (see the image below)
Contraindications
Bleeding diathesis
Anesthesia
Although many procedures like nail removal can be carried out safely under local ring block,
some patients may opt for general anesthesia. The following anesthetic procedures are commonly
used:
Local ring block (For more information, see Local Anesthetic Agents, Infiltrative
Administration.)
Procedural sedation (This may be considered but generally should not be required.)
Equipment
Syringe, 5 mL
Finger tourniquet (eg, rubber band, small Penrose drain, or the finger part of a glove)
Positioning
Place the hand on an arm extension with the palm facing down.
Technique
Use a straight hemostat to firmly secure a finger tourniquet around the base of the finger.
Insert the blades of curved Iris scissors or a small periosteal elevator beneath the free
edge of the nail (hyponychium).
o Gently open and close the Iris scissors blades or gently press the nail bed with the
small periosteal elevator.
o Advance proximally in between the nail plate and the nail bed until the instrument
reaches the nail fold.
Take appropriate care to avoid any further damage to the nail bed or overlying nail fold
during this process.
Once the nail is sufficiently separated from the nail bed, it is gently removed by applying
firm and steady distal traction using a hemostat.
Pearls
Take appropriate care to avoid any further damage to the nail bed or overlying nail fold
during nail removal.
