How long will you have to use crutches after ingrown toenail surgery?

You shouldn't. : You shouldn't have to! removing a toenail, or a portion of one, either surgically in the operating room or in the office shouldn't require crutches. An open-toed, stiff-soled shoe should be all you need.

Not needed: Most patients can wear a normal shoe the next day.

Hello. I had ingrown surgery on my left big toenail about 7 years ago. I've noticed that the outside part of the nail is buckling or curving to the outside. It makes up almost a quarter of the nail. Also some horizontal ridges. What could this mean?
