Nail bed repair

Nail bed repair involves fixing the tissue underneath the nail when it’s injured, such as in cases of tearing or laceration. The goal is to realign and sew the damaged tissue to promote proper healing and restore the nail’s appearance and function. The procedure typically entails cleaning the wound, carefully stitching the nail bed, and sometimes applying a dressing to protect the area. Proper repair helps prevent deformities, infection, and ensures the nail can grow back normally. Recovery may take several weeks, with follow-up care to monitor healing and nail regrowth.
