How Can The Toenail Be Treated Further?

Back in September of 2013 i smashed my toe in a door very badly and I thought I broke it. The doctors told me that I did not break but it needed to be removed (the toenail of course). After it was removed it started to grow back but slowly then I realized that half of my toenail was growing under the other half and so I pulled of the layer covering the new nail. For the past few months I noticed that about half of my to is a yellowish white color and that part is not attached to the toebed. What should I do about this situation because it is summer and don t like the looks of my toe.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, your problem is the ingrowing toe nail, which was operated, and now the nail that has grown is not proper. what you need now is revision surgery followed by guided growth of the nail so that the next nail that comes will be near normal.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
