Nail trauma refers to any injury or damage caused to the nails, nail bed, or surrounding tissues due to external forces or accidents.
It can result from various causes, such as impact, crushing, repetitive pressure, or excessive force applied to the fingernails or toenails.
Nail trauma can lead to conditions like subungual hematoma (bleeding under the nail), nail fractures, or nail bed injuries.
Prompt and appropriate care is essential to prevent complications and promote nail health and healing.
