What is a Toenail Reconstruction?

Toenail reconstruction restores the appearance and function of a damaged or nonexistent toenail. Toenails damage can have various causes, from mechanical damage (such as dropping something on the nail) to pathological changes.

What causes the need for Toenail Reconstruction?

1. Trauma: Toenail reconstruction is commonly used to repair toenails that have been damaged due to trauma, such as a severe injury or crushing.

2. Fungal Infections: In cases of severe fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) where the nail is extensively damaged or distorted, toenail reconstruction can be used to restore a more normal appearance.

3. Ingrown Toenails: For individuals with recurring ingrown toenails, reconstruction can help reshape the nail to prevent further ingrowth.
