Subject: X-ray of nail through thumb. SM

Dictator gives location of nail, saying "apparently s/l SKY-VING just anterior to the tuft of the distal phalanx."  Skyving?  I can find it only in the urban dictionary.

Okay, I've googled and looked around and there seems to be differing opinions about this.

Is there a consensus?

The patient has a 2-week history of a "falen" on her right thumb tip. It was decompressed in the ER and she subsequently went on to have an MRI.
