One of the most common causes of chronic inflammation around the nail is overgrown nail shafts. This anatomical structure promotes recurrence of the problem even when the patient uses modern podiatric methods.
Why do overgrown nail shafts promote inflammation?
- cause excessive pressure on the nail plate,
- They impede its proper growth,
- They promote ingrowth of the nail into the soft tissues,
- Increase the risk of inflammation and pain.
Podiatric therapies - the first stages of conservative treatment
To alleviate symptoms and restore patient comfort, podiatric treatments are used:
- Arkady cube - A tool that allows you to safely stabilize the nail,
- Arkada's Brace M - An orthonyx system that corrects the growth trajectory of the plaque.
The combination of the two methods produces very good results, especially for patients who experience recurrent discomfort and inflammation.
When is nail shaft plastic surgery necessary?
If, despite the use of conservative therapies, the problem recurs, an effective solution turns out to be nail shaft plasty.
This is a procedure performed in cooperation with a doctor, consisting of:
- Removal of excess soft tissue surrounding the nail,
- Creating space for proper growth of the plate,
- Minimizing the risk of nail ingrowth again.
