There are chapters on: abnormalities in nail configuration; modifications to the surface of the nail; nail plate and soft tissue abnormalities; periungal tissue disorders; nail consistency; changes in nail colour; onychomycosis; trauma disorders; the histopathy of common nail conditions; ultrasonic and MR images of the perionychium; dermatology of the nail pigmentation; an the treatment of common nail disorders.
