{Abstract}: Clinical findings in many nail disorders are not usually pathognomonic. An accurate diagnosis therefore relies on inspection of the nail unit from different angles. We review clinical features of different nail disorders that can be observed during frontal examination of the distal edge of the nail plate and the hyponychium and correlate these with features observed when the nail is viewed from above. Frontal examination of the distal nail unit can help establish a clinical diagnosis in routine practice.
