Congenital nail malalignment is characterized by lateral deviation of the nail plate relative to the phalanx [1]. It may be inherited in some cases, and the etiology remains idiopathic. Pathophysiologically, there may be lateral rotation of the underlying nail matrix [2] due to inherited nail matrix or ligamental abnormalities, or external factors such as abnormal in utero fetal positioning.

摘要

Congenital nail malalignment is characterized by lateral deviation of the nail plate relative to the phalanx [1]. It may be inherited in some cases, and the etiology remains idiopathic. Pathophysiologically, there may be lateral rotation of the underlying nail matrix [2] due to inherited nail matrix or ligamental abnormalities, or external factors such as abnormal in utero fetal positioning.
