PURPOSE: The use of @entity21079 ( @entity25053 ) has been evaluated for the treatment of nail bed injuries in adults. We propose to validate this technique in a continuous paediatric population of 30 @entity1 . METHODS: @entity1 with nail bed injuries associated with displaced @entity174 of the distal phalanx were excluded from the study. However, parcellar @entity174 of the tuft were included. After removal of the nail, wound detersion and anatomic positioning of the nail bed was done and maintained under the nail plate using a single dose of @entity25053 . Follow-up evaluation was done at day 7 and 1 and 3  months. RESULTS: The mean delay between the @entity130 and the surgery was 13.5  h. The nail bed lesion was a single transversal wound in 27 cases. A pulpar wound was associated in 22 cases. At 3 months control (final follow-up), no @entity2531 was noted. The cosmetic result was excellent for the @entity1 and his family in 30 out of 31 cases. It was excellent for the surgeon in 25 cases and good in six cases. CONCLUSIONS: In the @entity25053 technique, meticulous primary detersion and exact anatomic positioning of the damaged nail bed is mandatory before applying the @entity3080 adhesive. In our experience, we found that the @entity25053 technique provided a fast and safe result in nail bed lesions. The final cosmetic appearance, function and @entity1 satisfaction were good in our series. In these lesions, discomfort and inconvenience associated with suture removal could be avoided by the use of @entity25053 .
