icd 10 code for nail avulsion left big toe
A Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA) is a minor surgical procedure that involves the removal of a small strip of the side of the toe nail. A PNA is the perfect treatment for established ingrowing toe nails (particularly with granulation tissue), and involuted nails that have a history of ‘digging in’. The procedure is quick, painless, and will cure any ingrowing toe nail / recurrently painful involuted nail (if it is undertaken by a Practitioner who is proficient in undertaking PNA’s ! )
Having numbed the toe with a local anaesthetic a small strip of nail is then removed from the affected side(s) of the nail plate with the corresponding piece of matrix (root). Phenol is then added to prevent the removed matrix from reforming; this will ensure the strip of nail that has been removed will not re-grow. In effect the nail is made slightly narrower than it was.
A PNA is an alternative to removing the entire nail (Total Nail Avulsion). In an otherwise healthy toe nail it would be an act of unnecessary vandalism to remove the entire nail unit when the ingrowing toe nail can be cured easily by just removing a small strip of nail!

It would be exceptionally rare for our patients to experience any significant discomfort following a PNA. We would normally ask patients to avoid any excessive weight bearing activity for the remainder of the day, normal daily activities/work can resume the next day.
Healing will take 3-5 weeks although over this period of time it will not impact significantly on our patients daily routine and will not prevent our patients from bathing, swimming, and engaging in sports (except the first 3 days).
