Nail Avulsion

Nail avulsion is a procedure to remove your nail plate (the hard part of your nail) from your finger or toe. Your healthcare provider may recommend this type of procedure if you're having nail problems that haven't gotten better with other treatments. A nail avulsion may be done to treat an infection in your nail.

Partial nail avulsion is an ingrown toenail surgery method that involves removing a portion of the toenail from its nail root. The technique is designed to treat ingrown toenails by removing the entire nail edge that is cutting into the sides of the skin.
