Nail removal surgery is a procedure to surgically remove a nail that has been fixed in the body after recovery from the first surgery. When the patient has a fracture and the conservative treatment is not effective, the fracture site is usually fixed internally with instruments such as steel nails. After 4 to 6 weeks of surgery, the fracture will be stabilized by the growth of bone scabs, and then it is necessary to take out the internal fixation of the steel nails. In most cases, anesthesia is required to remove the nail. Under local or general anesthesia, the patient uses the same surgical approach as in the first operation, cuts the skin along the same incision, avoids important blood vessels and nerves, and locates the plate and screws and removes them.
