Nail Repair

Nail bed repair: surgical procedure for recovery

Repair of nail bed is a surgical procedure that involves repairing the damaged or injured nail bed. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and involves removing the damaged nail and repairing the underlying nail bed. The surgeon may use sutures, grafts, or other techniques to repair the nail bed. After the procedure, the patient may need to wear a splint or bandage to protect the nail bed and promote healing. The recovery time varies depending on the extent of the injury and the type of repair performed. With proper care and follow-up, most patients can expect to fully recover and regain normal nail function.
