Subungual exostosis surgery refers to a procedure performed to treat a condition known as subungual exostosis, which affects the toe nails. Subungual exostosis is a benign bony growth that typically occurs underneath the nail plate, causing pain and discomfort. The surgical procedure involves removing the abnormal bony growth, which may require making small incisions or using minimally invasive techniques to access and remove the exostosis. The surgery aims to alleviate pain, improve the appearance of the affected toe, and restore normal nail function.
