This patient presented to the HUM Emergency Department after a motorcycle accident. Among his injuries was a partially avulsed fingernail. A digital block was performed and the nail was removed to reveal a nailbed laceration. The laceration was repaired and the nail sutured in place to serve as a splint and dressing for the underlying nailbed.
