What is Nail Avulsion in Leg Single Nail

Nail avulsion is a minor surgical procedure used to remove a damaged, infected, or ingrown toenail to relieve pain and promote proper nail regrowth.


This treatment is often recommended for patients suffering from severe fungal infections, chronic ingrown toenails, or trauma-related nail damage.


Removing the affected nail helps prevent further complications and allows for healthy nail regrowth over time.

Things you should know before the treatment

  1. A consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to assess the condition of the nail and determine if removal is required.


  1. Local anesthesia is used to numb the toe and minimize discomfort during the procedure.


  1. Patients should avoid taking blood thinners (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) before the procedure unless directed by a doctor.


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


  1. Proper wound care is essential to prevent infection and promote healing.

What happens during the treatment

  1. The affected toe is cleaned and sterilized to prevent infection.


  1. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area.


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


  1. If necessary, the nail bed may be treated with a chemical solution to prevent regrowth (especially for recurring ingrown toenails).


  1. A sterile dressing is applied to protect the nail bed and support healing.

Recovery and results: What to expect

  1. Mild swelling, discomfort, and tenderness may last for a few days after the procedure.


  1. Patients should keep the area clean and dry, following proper wound care instructions.


  1. Avoid tight footwear and strenuous activities that may put pressure on the toe.


  1. Full healing takes approximately 2-6 weeks, with nail regrowth starting within a few months.


  1. Follow-up visits may be required to monitor healing and ensure no complications arise.
