General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The yellow discoloration of the toenails suggests post-traumatic changes after hematoma formation below nail bed. After a certain time period, the nail gets new cartilage and normal look.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
