Do I Need To Worry About A Runners Toenail?

I see a lot of runners in my practice. People training for half-marathons, and full marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman triathlons. One thing I've learned is that feet get beaten up! One area that gets particularly injured is the toenail, usually the great toenail. It's almost seen as a badge of honor that you finish a race and you find out how many toenails you lost over the course of the race or shortly after. Why does it happen? It happens because, over the course of the race, the foot hits the end of the shoe over and over again, which ends up traumatizing the nail and blood forms beneath the nail. This lifts the nail and a new nail will start to come in behind it. Eventually, the top nail will just fall off. This is what we call a #RunnersToenail. This process is usually not painful, but sometimes it is. In the cases when there is pain, there is a very simple procedure that we do in the office to be able to pierce holes in the nail itself to allow the blood to drain through. This does two things: This eliminates the pain because the pressure will be relieved. It may save the toenail by bringing the nail back down against the nail bed. It may allow the nail bed to adhere to the nail and allow it to continue to grow as we would expect it to.
