Losing a toenail or fingernail because of an injury is called avulsion. The nail may be completely or partially torn off after a trauma to the area. Your doctor may have removed the nail, put part of it back into place, or repaired the nail bed. Your toe or finger may be sore after treatment.
Procedure code 11750 (Excision of nail and nail matrix, partial or complete, [e.g., ingrown or deformed nail] for permanent removal) requires the removal of the full length or the entire nail plate, with destruction or permanent removal of the matrix by any means.
Avulsion of a nail involves separation and removal of the entire nail plate or a portion of nail plate and an excision of the nail and the nail matrix is generally performed under local anesthesia requiring separation and removal of the entire nail plate or a portion of nail plate and is a permanent removal.

An ingrown nail is growth of the nail edge into the surrounding soft tissue that may result in pain, inflammation or infection. This condition most commonly occurs in the great toes and may require surgical management. Other conditions may also require avulsion of part or all of a nail.
Excision of the nail and the nail matrix (CPT code 11750) performed under local anesthesia requiring separation and removal of the entire nail plate or a portion of nail plate (including the entire length of the nail border to and under the eponychium) followed by destruction or permanent removal of the associated nail matrix.
Regrowth of the nail usually requires at least four months. With appropriate surgical management and instruction for proper shoes and nail care, the problem of ingrowing nails should not recur.

Appropriate, including the duration and frequency that is considered appropriate for the service, in terms of whether it is: Furnished in accordance with accepted standards of medical practice for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient’s condition or to improve the function of a malformed body member.
Nail avulsions usually offer only temporary relief for ingrown toenails. The nail often grows back to its original thickness and the offending margin again may become problematic, resulting in another nail avulsion. Therefore, a partial or complete excision of nail and nail matrix may be the preferred course of treatment for recurrent ingrown nails.
The surgical treatment of ingrown nails is considered to be medically appropriate and reasonable for an ing rown toenail in the advanced stage in which the lateral nail fold bulges over the nail plate causing erythema, edema, and tenderness, and granulation of the epithelium inhibits serous drainage and precludes any chance of elevating the nail edge from the dermis of the lateral skin fold.
A nail avulsion usually requires injected local anesthesia except in instances wherein the digit is devoid of sensation or there are other extenuating circumstances for which injectable anesthesia is not required or is medically contraindicated.
