Abstract
Nail study material is usually obtained from autopsy or surgical specimens. Biopsy material obtained by routine punch technics is completely unsatisfactory, not only because of the loss of orientation of the specimen, but also because only one nail structure can be biopsied at one time. A biopsy technic is described for use in patients which permits the study of the pathological state of the nail at the time of the biopsy as well as of the past 3—4 months as it is reflected in the nail plate. It also provides information on the behavior of the nail bed, proximal nail fold, and matrix after surgical intervention.
