Can you help with nail problems and disease?

I left my notes at school I need info on furrow and plicated nail?Can you help with nail problems and disease?
If you google it you can get much information.





Although pincer nail deformity (PND) treatment is time consuming independent of


whether it is based on surgical or conservative procedures, long lasting beneficial results


are found only after surgical intervention. Typically destruction of the lateral matrix


horns either surgically or by phenol cauterization or even ablation of the matrix is


performed. In the past these procedures mainly aimed at relief from pain; however, currently


more patients ask for the preservation of the nail unit and a good cosmetic outcome.


Today reconstructive results that meet the patient expectations are available. An adapted


novel surgical method which will preserve the matrix horns while correcting the shape


of the phalanx and preventing renewed adhesion of the nail bed to the phalanx is presented.


Therefore the restoration of a normal width-to-length ratio of the nail plate with


a cosmetically appealing result becomes possible.
