Improper nail shortening is one of the most common causes of ingrown nail plate. It can lead not only to discomfort, but also to serious inflammation. This was the case of a patient who came to our office with advanced inflammation in the lateral part of the nail.
What did the podiatry treatment look like?
During the treatment, we used several professional methods to quickly restore the nail to its normal growth trajectory:
- Arkady cube - a tool that allows you to safely level the edges of the nail with acrylic resin,
- Arkada's Brace M - for correction of ingrown nail plate(Brace M brace accessories),
- A tamponade and separator - to relieve pressure on the nail shafts and reduce pressure,
- Arkada's Serum TC16 - used to calm inflammation and support regeneration.
What were the effects of the therapy?
After just 4 weeks, the nail regained its proper shape and healthy appearance, and the patient returned to full comfort.
Why is proper nail shortening so important?
- Nails that are too short or cut unevenly can grow into the skin,
- Improper technique promotes inflammation and plaque deformation,
- Regular preventive care and podiatric tools help avoid more serious problems.
Summary
An ingrown nail is a problem that should not be underestimated. Professional tools - such as the Arkady Cube, orthonyx clamps or specialized sera - can effectively and safely restore the health of the nail.
