Background

Wrist and hand deeper palmar dissection
Distal interphalangeal dislocation (DIP), proximal interphalangeal dislocation (PIP), and metacarpophalangeal dislocation (MCP) joints of the finger shown.
Volar/anterior finger anatomy.
Lateral finger anatomy.

Hand Anatomy

  • Volar = anterior = palmar
  • Dorsal = posterior

Nailtip Anatomy

A. Nail plate; B. lunula; C. root; D. sinus; E. matrix; F. nail bed; G. hyponychium; H. free margin.
  • The perionychium includes the nail bed and the paronychium.
  • The paronychium is the lateral nail fold (soft tissue lateral to the nail bed).
  • The hyponychium is the palmar surface skin distal to the nail.
  • The lunula is that white semi-moon shaped proximal portion of the nail.
  • The sterile matrix is deep to the nail, adheres to it and is distal to the lunule.
  • The germinal portion is proximal to the matrix and is responsible for nail growth.
