Document Summary
Common in distance running and squash secondary to deceleration. Toe hits end of toe box and causes disruption in nail/toe bed. Also can be acute drop a weight or step on it, etc. Can be done with a sterile heated paper clip. Need to evacuate blood to decrease pressure. Manual pressure on nail to evacuate all blood band-aid. May have to do a few days to get it all. Press into nail and blood will release day (no heat) New nail will grow underneath and push old nail off. This creates more space between toe and front of shoe. It pulls the foot back in the shoe. Usually nail grows into the lateral nail fold. Usually results form lateral pressure of poorly fitting shoes, improper trimming or repeated trauma. Not a problem with the nail, problem with the tissue being pushed over the nail or how nail is being forced into tissue. Tissue could push over nail and get irritated.
