Where this comes from

Abstract

There is no standard technique for repairing degloving injuries of the fingertip. Nail bed flap transplantation is a common surgical technique to address this injury, but this procedure inevitably damages the donor site in the toe. This article describes a surgical technique that can restore the appearance of the injured fingernail and preserve the length and function of the injured finger without damaging the toenail.
