    Subungual hematoma occurs when trauma to the nail results in a collection of blood, or hematoma, under the nail.

Bruises which do not blanch under pressure can involve capillaries at the level of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_toe

    When a toe is broken by crushing, there is often also a subungual hematoma (bleeding/bruising of the nail bed, under the toenail).
