What is Nail Avulsion in Hand Single Nail

Nail avulsion in the hand is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove a damaged, infected, or ingrown fingernail.


It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing severe nail trauma, fungal infections, or chronic nail conditions that cause pain or hinder normal nail growth.


The removal of the affected nail helps relieve discomfort and allows for healthy regrowth over time.

Things you should know before the treatment

  1. A consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to determine if partial or complete nail removal is needed.


  1. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and prevent pain during the procedure.


  1. Patients should inform their doctor about any blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) before the procedure.


  1. Mild pain, swelling, and tenderness may be experienced after the procedure.


  1. Proper wound care is crucial to prevent infection and support healthy nail regrowth.

What happens during the treatment

  1. The affected finger is cleaned and sterilized to reduce the risk of infection.


  1. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the finger for a painless procedure.


  1. The nail is carefully lifted and removed, either partially or completely, depending on the severity of the condition.


  1. If necessary, a chemical treatment may be applied to prevent regrowth (in cases of recurring infections or deformities).


  1. A sterile dressing is placed over the nail bed to protect the area and aid healing.

Recovery and results: What to expect

  1. Mild swelling, redness, and sensitivity may occur but should subside within a few days.


  1. Keep the wound clean and dry, following post-procedure care instructions.


  1. Avoid activities that put pressure on the finger, such as typing or gripping objects tightly.


  1. Healing typically takes 2-6 weeks, with nail regrowth beginning within a few months.


  1. Follow-up visits may be needed to monitor healing and prevent complications.
