Abstract

The toenail unit, commonly called the nail, is one of the most frequently examined and treated structures in clinical podiatry. Ultrasound is a standard clinical technique because it is a noninvasive, painless, and rapid diagnostic tool. The main objective of this study was to obtain morphometric data of the healthy toenail unit by ultrasound for clinical application. The nails of 76 participants (152 hallux nails; 38 men, 38 women, average age 26.83 ± 12.20) were examined using a VINNO E35 ultrasound system and an X6-16L linear probe with a frequency of 18 MHz. Five ultrasound measures of the healthy toenail unit were obtained, of which only the distance from the center of the distal phalange to the nail plate varied with age, sex, weight, and foot (p-values ≤ 0.050). The other four parameters were less influenced by the variables analyzed, except sex, which influenced nearly all (p-values ≤ 0.050). In one of these variables, indications of significance were observed (p-values = 0.060), with greater distances in the men than in the women, except for nail plate curvature, which showed a higher value. The other variables studied did not influence the parameters analyzed. High-frequency ultrasound can be used to examine the healthy toenail unit and define anthropometric reference measurements that can be used for more accurate and comparative diagnosis.

健康趾甲单元的超声临床参考。
趾甲(俗称指甲)是临床足病学中最常检查和治疗的结构之一。超声波是一种无创、无痛、快速的诊断工具,因此是一种标准的临床技术。本研究的主要目的是通过超声波获取健康趾甲单元的形态计量数据,并将其应用于临床。研究人员使用 VINNO E35 超声波系统和频率为 18 MHz 的 X6-16L 线性探头对 76 名参与者(152 个趾甲;38 名男性,38 名女性,平均年龄为 26.83 ± 12.20)的趾甲进行了检查。对健康趾甲单元进行了五项超声测量,其中只有远端趾骨中心到甲板的距离随年龄、性别、体重和足部而变化(p 值≤ 0.050)。其他四个参数受分析变量的影响较小,但性别除外,性别几乎对所有参数都有影响(p 值≤ 0.050)。在其中一个变量中,观察到显著性迹象(p 值 = 0.060),男性的距离大于女性,但甲板弯曲度除外,其值较高。所研究的其他变量对分析参数没有影响。高频超声波可用于检查健康的趾甲单位,并确定人体测量参考值,以便进行更准确的比较诊断。

期刊介绍: Clinical Anatomy is the Official Journal of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists and the British Association of Clinical Anatomists. The goal of Clinical Anatomy is to provide a medium for the exchange of current information between anatomists and clinicians. This journal embraces anatomy in all its aspects as applied to medical practice. Furthermore, the journal assists physicians and other health care providers in keeping abreast of new methodologies for patient management and informs educators of new developments in clinical anatomy and teaching techniques. Clinical Anatomy publishes original and review articles of scientific, clinical, and educational interest. Papers covering the application of anatomic principles to the solution of clinical problems and/or the application of clinical observations to expand anatomic knowledge are welcomed.
