Understanding Broken Nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. It is normally minor, but can be painful and may become infected.
How Broken Nail Is Treated
The physician looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and painkillers, checks for infection signs and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Options may include wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
