Background

Surgery for nail bed injuries in children is common. One of the key surgical decisions is whether to replace the nail plate following nail bed repair. The aim of this RCT was to assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of nail bed repair with fingernail replacement/substitution compared with repair with...

Methods
surgical-site infection
A two-arm 1 : 1 parallel-group open multicentre superiority RCT was performed across 20 secondary-care hospitals in the UK. The co-primary outcomes were surgical-site infection at around 7 days after surgery and cosmetic appearance summary score at a minimum of 4 months.

Intervention 1: replace fingernail or substitute
Following debridement and suturing of the nail bed, the fingernail was replaced and secured with a figure-of-eight suture using Vicryl Rapide™ (Bridgewater, NJ) suture. A low-adherent dressing was applied. If the fingernail could not be replaced (for example owing to damage or loss), a substitute was chosen by the oper...

Intervention 2: discard fingernail
Following debridement and suturing of the nail bed, the fingernail was discarded, and a low-adherent dressing applied. The dressing was not used to splint open the nail fold.
