Summary

This study compares the outcomes of fixing nail bed injuries with nail bed repair versus irrigation and dressing alone. The main question this study aims to answer is "Does nail bed repair after nail bed injury lead to better outcomes?"

Detailed Description

This study compares two treatment methods for patients with nail bed injuries. The first method is irrigation and dressing. The second method is nail bed repair. Patients will be randomized into one of the two groups and outcomes will be documented in both groups.
