Transverse hypercurvature is a deformity of the nail plate, unaesthetic and painful, causing discomfort to the patient. Treatment can be conservative or surgical. Related to the conservative treatments, placing the flexible plastic blade on the nail plate using cyanoacrylate glue, promotes rapid improvement of pain and its widening from three to six months. The use of cyanoacrylate accelerator facilitates the procedure, making it faster.
