Nail, Short

Definition:

Objective: Decreased length of nail

Comments:

Use this designation when the length is reduced but the width is normal. Standards for newborns were identified [Seaborg and Bodurtha, [1989]] but none were identified for older persons. Therefore, for newborns, this could be objective, but this is rarely measured. The affected digits should be specified.

Synonyms:

• Brachyonychia
