Ingrown, damaged or deformed toe nails will often require a surgical solution. This can vary from a temporary procedure to relive infection or a permanent procedure to resolve a deformed or recurrent ingrown toenail. Our Podiatrists are trained and qualified to provide nail surgery for the treatment of nail diseases. At PodSquared we will explore all conservative approaches before recommending any form of nail surgery. If a conservative approach has been unussessful, surgery can be performed in our rooms under local anaesthesia. Our surgical success rates are extremely high with most patients returning to normal activities within 2-3 days.
Ingrown or painful toe nails can be a common problem for people of all ages. There are many reasons a nail may become painful and ingrown, these include: nail shape, poorly fitting footwear, poor hygiene or incorrect nail cutting technique.
If you are having difficulty managing your toenails it is worth discussing your problems and concerns with one of Podiatrists to see if we can find a suitable solution.
