| Title | A modified periungual approach for treatment of subungual glomus tumour. | | Author(s) | Fong ST, Lam YL, So YC | | Institution | Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong S.A.R., China. drstbfong@hotmail.com. | | Source | Hand Surg 2007; 12(3):217-21. | | Abstract | Subungal glomus tumours are uncommon; the only treatment is complete surgical excision. Transungual approach is often preferred; however, secondary nail deformity may occur. Lateral periungual approach is used to avoid this complication, but this approach provides limited exposure and is used for peripheral lesion only. We describe a modified periungual approach which can be applied to central lesions. This approach can provide adequate exposure for complete excision of the subungual tumour while avoiding incision of the nail bed. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
