Orthonyxia is the most appropriate treatment for the ingrown toenail – with metallic braces VHO – OSTHOLD – whether its condition is at an early stage or at a more advanced one.
The goal is to restore the nail to its original and normal condition.
The application is painless, the nail rises and the results are:
Immediate relief from the pain.
Restoration of the nail after the treatment.
Avoidance of removing the nail by surgery which is very important for the diabetic feet.
No absence from work or everyday activities ( sports)
Immediate usage of shoes
The metallic braces must be replaced regularly like teeth braces in orthodontics.
The cases that can be treated are:
During the initial stages when the patient has pain or discomfort.
During advanced stages like ingrown nails into the skin that creates pus, spoon nails, else known as Koilonyxia, or oyster nail conditions.
It is recommended to advise a specialised doctor when it is considered necessary.
