Summary:

Nail surgery is a safe and effective solution for chronic nail problems, such as ingrown toenails or deformed nails. Our podiatrists provide professional treatment to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.

Details:

Nail surgery, often called a partial or total nail avulsion, is performed under local anaesthetic to treat chronic or severe nail problems. Common conditions include persistent ingrowing toenails, thickened nails, or nails affected by trauma or infection. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed in-clinic, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Symptoms:

• Persistent pain along the nail edge

• Recurrent ingrown toenails

• Swelling, redness, or infection around the nail

• Difficulty wearing shoes or walking comfortably

  
  

Causes:

• Improper nail cutting techniques

• Trauma to the nail

• Recurrent infection or inflammation

• Genetic nail shape tendencies

  
  

Treatment Options:

• Partial nail avulsion to remove problematic nail edges

• Total nail removal for severe or damaged nails

• Chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth of problematic sections

• Post-surgery care guidance, including wound care and footwear advice

• Pain management and follow-up appointments
