TREATMENTS
Resolving Your Toenail Issues
A Total Nail Avulsion (TNA) is a minor surgical procedure undertaken to remove the entire nail plate and matrix (root). If phenol is used during the procedure then the nail will not re-grow.
This method of removing the nail and preventing it from re-growing is perhaps the least invasive of all the procedures used to remove toe nails and prevent their re-growth. The technique does not require stitches and the level of post-operative discomfort is minimal.
A toenail that has been damaged may become permanently thickened and deformed, making it both unsightly and likely to rub against the toe box of footwear. This will lead to several problems.
A TNA takes around 8-12 weeks to fully heal.

Partial Nail Avulsion
A PNA is a minor surgical procedure that involves the removal of a small strip of the side of the toenail and is perfect for established ingrown toenails. The procedure is quick, painless, and will cure any ingrowing toe nail or recurrently painful involuted nail.
A PNA is an alternative to removing the entire nail. In an otherwise healthy toe nail it would be an act of unnecessary vandalism to remove the entire nail unit when the ingrowing toe nail can be cured easily by just removing a small strip of nail. A Partial Nail Avulsion takes around 3-6 weeks to heal.
