Onychogryposis
Onychogryposis is very common nail diorder. Onychogryposis can be defined as the abnormally thick curved fingernails or toenails. Onychogryposis are claw-type nails that are characterized by a thickened nail plate and are often the result of trauma. This type of nail plate will curve inward, pinching the nail bed and sometimes require surgical intervention to relieve the pain.
Onychogryposis usually is superficial and responds well to treatment, although fungal infections may persist for several months. Complications of Onychogryposis are rare, but they occasionally occur.
