Total Nail Avulsion at Skinaa Clinic

A total nail avulsion (TNA) procedure involves the safe removal of the entire toenail. This procedure is indicated in a variety of circumstances, such as cases of ingrown toenails where both sides recurrently ingrow and there is a large curvature at the sides of the nail. Here, instead of removing two larger sides of the painful nail, a patient will opt to simply have the entire nail removed so it can grow back as a normal, straight nail – or not grow back at all depending on the method they choose.

Aside from ingrowing or involuting (high degree of curvature) nails, this procedure is also used as a solution for disfigured, thickened, infected and damaged toenails where the nail itself is causing ongoing pain or great discomfort, especially when wearing shoes and performing daily activities.
