A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. It is usually minor, but can be painful and may become infected.

- Dark bruise under the nail
- Redness or swelling if infected
- Pain and tenderness
What Can Cause Broken Nail
Catching or bending the nail, a blow or crush injury, slamming it in a door, sport or harsh chemicals. Weak or brittle nails break more readily.
Prevention Tips
Keep nails trimmed and smooth, wear gloves for heavy work and protect fingers around doors and equipment.
Care and Treatment for Broken Nail
