Conclusion<br />
The nail apparatus is a complex integumental structure.<br />
The nail can be affected by many diseases be they<br />
primary or secondary. Treatments for some of the nail<br />
disorders are difficult. A good understanding of the nail<br />
physiology and surgical anatomy enables clinicians to<br />
deliver the best possible treatment.<br />
