Partial nail plate resection in children
Partial nail plate resection is a surgical procedure in which only the problematic part of the nail that is growing into the surrounding tissue is removed. It is not always necessary to remove the entire nail. Whether this procedure is needed is determined by the doctor after an examination. A paediatric surgeon will assess the condition of the finger and the severity of the inflammation, and determine the further course of action.
