Ingrown toenail surgery/PNA

Ingrown toenails can be painful, persistent, and often become infected if left untreated. Our podiatrists are highly experienced and endorsed to manage both simple and infected ingrown toenails safely and effectively.

A Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA) is a straightforward, highly successful procedure used to remove the section of nail causing discomfort. It is performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring the toe is completely numb throughout.

What to Expect from a PNA:

  • Only the problematic portion of the nail is carefully removed.
  • No cutting of the skin or stitches are required.
  • A specialised chemical may be applied to prevent the nail edge from growing back, offering a long-term or permanent solution.
  • You can walk immediately after the procedure.

With access to the latest techniques, we provide fast, effective relief—whether your ingrown toenail is uncomplicated or infected.
