Nails under 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inch, often called brads, are sold mostly in small packages with only a length designation or with length and wire gauge designations; for example, 1″ 18 ga. or 3 ⁄ 4 ″ 16 ga.
The free margin (margo liber) or distal edge is the anterior margin of the nail plate corresponds to the abrasive or cutting edge of the nail. [3] The hyponychium (informally known as the "quick") [6] is the epithelium located beneath the nail plate at the junction between the free edge and the skin of the fingertip. It forms a seal that ...
Muehrcke's lines were described by American physician Robert C. Muehrcke (1921–2003) in 1956. In a study published in BMJ, he examined patients with known chronic hypoalbuminemia and healthy volunteers, finding that the appearance of multiple transverse white lines was a highly specific marker for low serum albumin (no subject with the sign had SA over 2.2 g/dL), was associated with severity ...

When it reaches this point the fingertips can become sore for a few days as the nail bed is exposed by the ...

[4] Treatments intended to preserve length, such as replantation or flap reconstruction, should be used if the damage to the bone and soft tissue beneath the nail bed is too ...
