Abstract
Through bitter experience, I can state that patients with arterial insufficiency, diabetes or moderate severe DIP (Distal Interphalangeal) arthritis suffer a greater morbidity than any other patients when they undergo surgical manipulation around the nail unit. Infiltration near the MP or CP joints with 1 to 2 cc of anesthetic to each side of the digit is recommended (Fig. 1).
