Nail angle
Active
Description
Normally, the angle between the nail plate and the skin overlying the proximal part of the distal finger is about 160 degrees. With nail clubbing, proliferation of the nail bed (tissue under the nail plate) causes this angle to increase to more than 160 degrees. The angle may be entirely lost with the nail plate and skin forming a straight line (180-degree angle). As clubbing progresses, the profile of the fingertip becomes bulbous and the angle eventually exceeds 180 degrees. Concave (spooning) nails may be present in patient's with iron deficiency anemia.
