I was moving a refrigerator when the ex pushed instead of pulled. Ripped the nail on the big toe off the nail bed.....it was hinged at the cuticle. A pair of dykes finished it off. The nail bed hardended and the new nail grew out over it.

Kept it disinfected for a day or two with Hydro Peroxide and it healed great. Gluing down a nail would trap nasty stuff and most likely would percolate into a staph infection. Nails are a magnet for all kinds of junk....

"I" wouldn't do it.....
