    Author: Förstner H.
    Journal: Aktuelle Traumatol; 1986 Feb; 16(1):34-6. PubMed ID: 2870619.
    Abstract:
    To satisfy the demands of tactile gnosis, it is necessary to have intact fingertips. For this purpose, the fingernail has an important function. With the help of an example of a nailbed transplantation after a complete amputation of a finger end, a possibility of reconstruction of injured fingertips, especially of the nailbed, is shown. Attention is called to the importance of an exact primary treatment of injured nailbeds.
