The nail removal surgery is usually performed 1 - 2 years after hallux valgus surgery, depending on the patient's recovery. The surgical process includes preoperative preparation, anesthesia, surgery and postoperative treatment. The nail removal surgery is generally performed 1 - 2 years after hallux valgus surgery, depending on the patient's recovery. The following are the general steps for nail removal surgery: 1. Preoperative preparation: The patient needs to undergo preoperative examination, including X-ray, blood routine, coagulation function, etc., to ensure that the physical condition is suitable for surgery. At the same time, the patient needs to inform the doctor of his allergy history and drug history. 2. Anesthesia: The surgery generally uses local anesthesia or half body anesthesia, and the patient remains awake during the surgery. 3. Surgical process: The doctor will make a small incision in the patient's foot and insert an instrument through this incision to remove the nail. During the removal of the nail, the doctor will take care to protect the surrounding tissues and nerves from causing damage. 4. Post-operative treatment: After the operation, the patient needs to wrap the wound with dressings and wear special shoes or braces to stabilize the foot. The doctor will prescribe pain medication and anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain and swelling. The patient needs rest and rehabilitation as prescribed by the doctor. It is important to note that everyone has different hallux valgus and the surgical plan will vary. Therefore, before performing the nail removal surgery, the patient should fully communicate with the doctor to understand the risks and precautions of the surgery. At the same time, patients need to follow the doctor's requirements for preoperative preparation and postoperative care to ensure smooth operation and recovery. In addition, for some special groups, such as elderly, diabetic patients, patients with immune system diseases, etc., the risk of nail removal surgery may be higher. Therefore, before surgery, the doctor will carefully evaluate these patients and develop an individualized surgical plan. In short, nail removal surgery is a relatively common surgery, usually performed 1 - 2 years after surgery. Patients need to fully communicate with doctors before surgery, understand the risks and precautions of surgery, and carry out preoperative preparation and postoperative care according to the requirements of doctors.
