Understanding broken nail
A broken nail is a split, crack or tear in the nail, sometimes with injury to the nail bed underneath. Most cases are minor, though painful and at times infected.
Causes and risk factors
Snagging or bending the nail, knocks, crushing, door slams, sport and strong chemicals can break it, and brittle nails give way more easily.
