Nail reconstruction and prosthetics

Nail reconstruction and prosthetics is a podiatric procedure that allows for the restoration of a damaged or partially lost nail plate. At FOOT CARE PIONEERS – a podiatry clinic in Katowice – we perform this procedure to restore the proper appearance and function of the nail, as well as to improve patient comfort. The procedure has both therapeutic and aesthetic purposes, with the main goal of protecting the nail bed from injuries and infections.

What does nail reconstruction involve?

Reconstruction consists of filling in the missing part of the nail using specialized podiatric materials, such as resins, acrylic, or dental composite. Unlike cosmetic methods, podiatry does not use nail extension gels or tips, which could worsen the condition of the nail plate. The materials used in our podiatry clinic are safe, flexible, and adapted to the natural growth of the nail.

Depending on the indications, we distinguish between:

• temporary reconstruction – used in cases of subungual corns or onycholysis,
• permanent reconstruction – performed in cases of degeneration or permanent damage to the nail plate.

The procedure is completely safe, carried out under aseptic conditions and using sterile instruments.

Who is nail prosthetics intended for?

Nail reconstruction is recommended for individuals who:

• have suffered mechanical injuries to the nail plate,
• are dealing with partial nail loss,
• want to strengthen weakened nail plates,
• experience discomfort while walking,
• expect an improvement in nail aesthetics, especially during the summer.

The procedure is contraindicated in cases of active infections, including nail fungus or green nail syndrome.

What are the results of the procedure?

Nail reconstruction restores the natural shape of the nail plate, improves the aesthetics of the feet, and allows them to be freely exposed. The procedure also protects the nail bed from injuries and infections, which is important for prevention. The filling material should be regularly replaced every 4–5 weeks to maintain the proper therapeutic and aesthetic effect.
