An injury?: If your nail is loose and coming off sometimes it is better to have it partially removed. You have to be careful that you do not do any more damage to it by catching it on your socks tearing it further. Check with your podiatrist and make sure there is nothing else going on under the nail which caused it to come loose in the first place.
