Regrowth of pulled-out fingernails?

Hi,

I just saw the film, Syriana, where a torture scene showed someone having their fingernails pulled out. I was wondering whether fingernails, after being pulled out fully (i.e. not just snapped fingernails) ever grow back again?

Thank you.

YES IT THEY WILL, EVEN AFTER U DIE YOUR HAIR AND NAILS CONTINUE TO GROW WEIRD HUH

I don't think they do. My grandma had one surgically removed (overgrown cuticle) and it never grew back.

I think they do because I slammed my finger in the car door and my whole nail fell off and it grew back!

Mine grew back, but it takes a while

I was helping to move a pool table, and the leg ended up on my toe, ripping my nail out and tearing a huge hole where the nail bed used to be. The doctors told me it wouldn't grow back due to the damage, but a year later it did. Freaky.

yes they do.i had it happen to me.
