Trying to keep our patients out of the ER
- There are problems that all of your specialist can handle right now to keep you out of the emergency room
- We treat many foot and ankle emergencies right in our office
- Many podiatrist have on-sight X-ray so they can diagnosis and treat your broken bone
- You should never ignore bruising, swelling or unexplained redness on the lower extremity
Today we are discussing ingrown toenails
- If you have a toe that is red, and swollen like the picture to the right, you should not be trying to ride this out
- Ingrown nails are typically painful, but in our diabetic patients with neuropathy (unable to feel pain from an infection is one example of neuropathy)
- If left untreated this can be a much bigger problem, infection in the worst case scenario can lead to an amputation of a toe
- Treatment is a simple in office procedure
The Video below is an ingrown nail procedure
Ingrown nail surgery:
- The toe is anesthetized with 1% Lidocaine
- The offending border is freed from the nail bed
- An instrument is used to only cut out the ingrown border
- After the bad part of the nail is removed, a topical medicine is used to stop the border of the nail from growing again
- If the patient does not have good blood flow, this procedure can not be performed but your podiatrist can most likely alleviate some of the problem and place you on an antibiotic
- The video above is us removing an ingrown nail on a patient

Ingrown toenails
ReplyDelete(as well as a huge majority of other foot infections and disorders) can be avoided by keeping your feet clean, and wearing socks and shoes that fit properly will relieve pressure on your toes, which can promote this condition.
