Why broken nail happens
Catching or bending the nail, a blow or crush injury, slamming it in a door, sport or harsh chemicals. Weak or brittle nails break more readily.
About broken nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear of the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed beneath. Most cases are minor, though painful and at times infected.

Keep nails trimmed and smooth, wear gloves for heavy work and protect fingers around doors and equipment.
Treatment options for broken nail in Turunc
On video the doctor inspects the nail, gives care and pain-relief advice, looks for infection and sets up an in-person check if the nail bed or bone could be damaged. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest wound cleaning, a dressing and, if infected, an antibiotic; a nail bed injury may need in-person repair.
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Do not pull off a partly attached nail
- Trim any sharp, loose edge with clean scissors
