Key Points

  • To describe a novel technique for fixing the nail plate post-excision of glomus tumors.
  • Performed transungual excision of glomus tumors in two patients.
  • Utilized a simple, minimally traumatic technique for nail plate fixation.
  • Successful fixation of the nail plate in both cases.
  • Minimized trauma associated with traditional fixation methods.

Abstract

Glomus tumors are rare benign neoplasms of the digits arising from glomus bodies. Transungual excision is the preferred approach for the complete removal of subungual glomus tumors. However, secure repositioning of the nail plate following excision remains technically challenging. We describe a simple, minimally traumatic technique for nail plate fixation following transungual glomus tumor excision. We performed this technique in two patients.
