Abstract
Sutures are commonly used to secure nail plates after nail-bed repair. Here we describe a technique to secure nail plates using an adhesive--Histoacryl blue (n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate). We report a series of 16 avulsed nail plates secured with Histoacryl after nail bed repair with a satisfactory end result.
