What is an ingrown toenail?

Ingrown toenails, also called Onychocryptosis, are caused by recurrent pressure on the edge of the nail resulting in an inward growth of the nail in the surrounding nail folds.

Ingrown Toenail Surgery

Ingrown toenails can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Depending on the severity of your toenail or personal preference, you may opt for a Partial Nail Avulsion to treat your ingrown toenail. 

A partial nail avulsion is a common surgical procedure we perform at our practice. This procedure is done in our clinic under local anaesthetic and usually takes about an hour.
