  • Subzone I: From the tip of the fingertip to the midpoint of the nail.

    In 1997, Naiem S Moiemen & David Elliot (UK) modified Ishikawa Classification by dividing subzone I into:

    • IA – from tip of the fingertip to the distal end of the nail (which could be resutured as a composite graft in children).
    • IB – from the distal end to the midpoint of the nail.

  • Subzone II – From the midpoint of the nail to the base of the nail.

  • Subzone III – From the nail base to the midpoint between nail base and the DIP joint.

  • Subzone IV – From the midpoint between the nail base and the DIP joint to the DIP joint.
