Increased use of intramedullary nails for intertrochanteric proximal femoral fractures in veterans affairs hospitals: a comparative effectiveness study.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2012
BACKGROUND Intramedullary nails for stabilizing intertrochanteric proximal femoral fractures have been available since the early 1990s. The nails are inserted percutaneously and have theoretical mechanical advantages over plates and screws, but they have

Anatomy of the nail unit and the nail biopsy

Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2015
The nail unit is the largest and a rather complex skin appendage. It is located on the dorsal aspect of the tips of fingers and toes and has important protective and sensory functions. Development begins in utero between weeks 7 and 8 and is fully formed at birth. For its correct development, a great number of signals are necessary.

Pigmented and nonpigmented nail abnormalities often represent a challenge for clinicians because many, and sometimes potentially life-threatening differential diagnoses must be taken into consideration. Although many details of nail diseases can already be assessed with the naked eye, dermoscopy opens up a second microscopic level of inspection, which ...

Dermoscopy of the Nail Plate, Nail Matrix, and Nail Bed

2017
Dermoscopy of the nail unit allows better characterization of pigmented lesions compared with the naked eye. Dermoscopy easily differentiates subungual hemorrhages from melanin inclusions, and may reveal clues regarding the diagnosis of fungal melanonychia.
