Pincer nail deformity is characterized by excessive curvature and distortion of the nail in the transverse dimension, and particularly at the distal part of the nail plate. This deformity leads to pinching off and loss of soft tissue in the affected digit, causing severe pain. Many treatment methods have been proposed; however, an effective long-term method preserving the nail matrix has not yet been established. We present here a case of pincer nail in the left thumb in a 49-year-old woman who was treated successfully with dermal grafting under the nail bed. We describe the surgical method and the treatment results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the Korean medical literature on the use of dermal grafting for the treatment of pincer nail deformity.
钳形甲畸形的特征是指甲在横向维度上过度弯曲和变形，尤其是在甲板的远端部分。这种畸形会导致受影响手指的软组织被夹住并丧失，引起剧痛。已经提出了许多治疗方法；然而，尚未建立一种有效的长期保留甲床的方法。我们在此介绍一名49岁女性左拇指钳形甲的病例，该患者通过在甲床下进行真皮移植成功治愈。我们描述了手术方法和治疗结果。据我们所知，这是韩国医学文献中关于使用真皮移植治疗钳形甲畸形的首例报告。
