Abstract

The nail has a unique structure and function and is an integral part of the distal digit tip. Understanding the anatomy, development, physiology, and function of the nail as a whole and its individual subunits is helpful to the clinician to aid assessment of the patient, diagnosis, and treatment. Abnormalities in the nail unit can be seen in both systemic and localized pathology and may result in functional and cosmetic problems for the patient.
