Toenail Surgery (Partial/Total Nail Avulsion)
Nail surgery is usually performed for ingrowing nails (IGTN). An ingrowing toenail occurs when a spike of nail penetrates the skin at the edge of the nail. These are often very painful and become infected. Nail spikes can develop through incorrect nail cutting (cut too short), previous injury or fungal infection. Sometimes a wide nail plate may cause the toe nail to in-grow.
