Abstract

The article focuses on the under-utilization of nail biopsies among dermatologists and evaluates the complication rates associated with various nail procedures. A retrospective chart review of 373 nail procedures revealed that post-operative pain was uncommon and manageable, with low rates of nail plate deformity and scarring. The study found that avulsions had the highest infection rates, with one case requiring hospitalization, while complications were generally rare across all procedures. The findings suggest that nail procedures are well-tolerated, although the authors acknowledge limitations related to sample size and the single-center nature of the study.
