Drainage Of Blood Under A Nail

West Virginia rates for HCPCS 11740

When a blow to a finger or toe causes blood to collect painfully under the nail, this procedure relieves the pressure by creating a small opening in the nail to let the trapped blood drain out. It quickly reduces the throbbing pain that builds up as blood pools in the confined space beneath the nail.
