Résumé

The authors present the case of a 64-year-old male who presented to the emergency department due to foot trauma. He sustained a large subungual hematoma, which was drained. Following the procedure, the patient achieved complete resolution of his pain. He also reported no complications at two-week phone follow-up. The management of subungual hematoma, including the trephination procedure, is discussed. Potential complications, although rare, are reviewed.
