A member asked:
Will my toenail grow back after matrix removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Matrix removal: After matrix removal, your toenail most likely will not grow back. Most doctors will do a partial matrixectomy, where only a portion of the matrix is removed. So you are not losing your entire nail, just the portion that has been affecting you. All the best.
