Dressed with Bacitracin, tube gauze. Answer: "For lacerations to the nail bed, a portion or all of the nail plate is removed in order to visualize the laceration. The laceration of the nail bed is repaired meticulously with sutures.

The nail fold is raised, and the nail bed wound is repaired with sutures." Code the scenario above as a nail repair using 11760 (Repair of nail bed).
