00:00Hello everyone, a big welcome! And we have a nail that looks like an accordion.
00:05I think that's a very accurate description. Today I'll tell you how such a fun a situation can
00:10happen. It's a really cool case. It looks interesting, almost like some kind of shell,
00:14layered like that, right? I should note right away that I didn't film this video,
00:20I'm not doing the work, and it's not even in Kazan. The video was provided by the
00:24Pedology Center Podofocus and Elena Parbova. It is being performed by one of her specialists,
00:29Irina. In short, a guy came in who doesn't remember, doesn't know, and has no clue at all
00:34how this could have happened. It's one of those, I woke up and suddenly, whoops, there it was,
00:39situations. But thank goodness he came in. He came in for help, well, because something had to be done
00:45about it. You are now going to watch as the specialist saw through the nail plate, and then
00:50she'll remove it using nipples. So basically a standard method, very, very effective, like when
00:56you saw it into two parts and just like that, like a little lid, you nicely open it up. What
01:02I want to
01:03say about the guy. I was sent the case details and I wanted to share it with you, because it's
01:07a telling,
01:08interesting case. Let's remember, right, that it looks like a shell, looks like an accordion,
01:14because there is most likely a pattern to it. I mean, we can only guess, of course, but as a
01:19rule,
01:19the nail plate can end up in this state for specific reasons. Let's make a quick note right
01:24away. It's a young man. He doesn't do any super intense sports, meaning nothing like that was
01:31noticed about him, and basically he acted pretty indifferent. I guess he's in that category of
01:36clients, well, everyone who works in food care, they know clients like that, who think that if they see a
01:42food care specialist, something will happen right away. But nothing happens just like that, because most of
01:47the time you have to work on such a nail plate a lot. By the way, a sample was also
01:51taken for analysis
01:52here. You have to work a lot with such a nail plate, and it's really not just a couple of
01:57months.
01:57And of course, a portion of yummy treats is also waiting for you here. Now they are going to pull
02:03some kind of alien out of the nail groove. Anyway, the guy knows nothing, can't really explain anything,
02:09says he didn't do a thing, and it just somehow happened on its own. So here, one can only guess.
02:14One could guess the following. For example, while walking, if the shoes are slightly pressing on the
02:19big toe, and honestly on the adjacent one too, it's not looking too good there either. Then, of course,
02:24the blood supply, the nail stops getting the nourishment it needs, meaning it's bad, blood and oxygen,
02:29all of that doesn't circulate well. Of course, there can be consequences. And here we are observing a case
02:34of onycobrifosis, that means it sickens. Their onycoblast start growing this way and that,
02:39that is, at the moment of this pressure, they slow down their growth. Then maybe there is a change of
02:46shoes. Again, I say we can only assume, only guess how all this could have happened, considering that
02:51he is not an athlete. That is, since we see three, well, stripes like these, that is most likely it's
02:57some kind of seasonality or some stages. In general, it presses during some periods, nothing grows,
03:02then it doesn't press and it starts to grow. And just like that, the onycoblasts start acting up on us.
03:08These things happen. Well, of course, you can and should work with a nail plate like this,
03:14but this work won't be quick, it'll take a long time. I think the specialist at the Podofox Center
03:19did an excellent job. As for you, I'd encourage you to pay attention to your nails. And don't put off
03:26seeing a podiatry specialist. All things can end up this bad. Thank you.
