What Causes Splitting Of Thumb Nail?

My thumb nail just started splitting right down the middle of the nail and not it is all the way grown out and there is still a split right down the middle of the nail. Will that ever grow back together? Is there anything I can do about this. I don t remember ever injuring the thumb or nail.
