Approximately 1 year: Depending on how it was injured it may take up to 1 year for the nail to fully grow out.

4 to 6 months: Faster in younger patients and in warmer weather...Slower in older patients with less blood flow, in smokers and in colder weather. The nail may not fall off. You may just see a new clear line as the dark nail grows forward.
