What is broken nail?
Nails can split, crack or tear, occasionally damaging the nail bed. It is typically minor but can hurt and may become infected.
Symptoms of broken nail
- Cracked, split or torn nail

- Redness or swelling if infected
- Pain and tenderness
Why broken nail happens
Catching or bending the nail, a blow or crush injury, slamming it in a door, sport or strong chemicals. Weak or brittle nails break more easily.

Care and treatment for broken nail
The doctor looks at the nail on camera, advises on care and pain relief, checks for signs of infection and arranges an in-person review if the nail bed or bone may be injured. Options may include wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
