Hey Geeks
The 4 yeaor old girl that i look after got a index finger shut is the door yesterday - owwwww
Luckily her Mum was here so we were able to get her sorted pretty quick. I looked at the finger and she had slice then skin from a bout 1/4 inch back upto the eponyicium but because of the blood couldn't see much else but I was pretty sure that the matrix was intact.
Mum took her to the doctors cause the cut was pretty deep and the doctor has advised that she has also ripped up the nail from the eponyichium end . Because of this they couldn't stich it (not sure why any ideas?) so she has it all wrapped up and doc has advised she will probably loose her nail.
Will the nail grow back if she looses it completely?
Then I got to think about the nail anatomy. Do the cells come out of the matrix and immedeately form the nail plate? Trying to asses where exactly the matrix is so I can tell if that is where the cut has started iykwim.
Thanks
when it's unwrapped I will see if mum will let me take some piccies!
