Nail dystrophy is a common problem seen in podiatry offices. It can be the result of micro-trauma, overloading or ill-fitting footwear. It manifests itself as deformation, dryness of the plate and color change. Such a case was reported to us by a patient.
Symptoms of nail dystrophy
- Deformed and uneven tile,
- Dryness, lack of natural shine,
- Signs of weakness after repeated mechanical trauma.
How was the nail treatment after the injury in the office?
During the visit, we implemented comprehensive measures:
- Removing the damaged part of the plate - allowed to expose the healthy structure,
- A delicate Sin Brace - stabilized the nail and supported its correct growth trajectory(see orthonyxia tools),
- Home therapy - regular tapping and application of skin care products,
- Cofferdam - protecting the nail shaft and creating the conditions for healthy regeneration.
Effects of nail therapy after trauma
After just a few weeks, significant improvements could be seen:
- The nail regained its natural color,
- The plate began to grow properly,
- The patient returned to full comfort and aesthetics.
Why is the podiatric approach so effective?
Each case of nail dystrophy requires individual diagnosis and selection of appropriate tools. With methods such as orthonyx clamps, protection of the nail shaft or specialized skin and nail care, it is possible to achieve lasting results and avoid recurrence of the problem.
