Randomized feasibility trial of replacing or discarding the nail plate after nail-bed repair in children.

CONCLUSION: Recruitment was rapid and nail-bed repair appeared to have low complication and infection rates in this pilot trial. The findings have led to revision of the definitive trial protocol, including the mode and timing of follow-up, and modification of the Zook classification.
