It has been recognised for a long time that damage to the median or ulnar nerves is usually followed by slowing of growth of the fingernails. In the past, this has always been ascribed to immobilization of the appropriate digits, rather than to a neurotrophic factor. No other nail changes appear to have been described in association with nerve damage. We present two patients with marked nail changes following median nerve injury, in which immobilization does not appear to be responsible.
长期以来，人们已经认识到，正中神经或尺神经损伤后通常会出现指甲生长缓慢的情况。过去，这一直被归因于相应手指的固定，而非神经营养因子。似乎没有其他与神经损伤相关的指甲变化被描述过。我们报告了两名正中神经损伤后出现明显指甲变化的患者，其中固定似乎并非原因所在。
