Why can’t fungal toenails be completely removed?

Is there a reason extremely fungal toenails cannot be removed and have their nail matrix destroyed? It seems a lot of care is to do yearly trimming/drimmel

Certain conditions can exist that make removal of the toenail more dangerous than just yearly trimming. A lot of older individuals will have circulatory issues in the feet, which inhibits the ability to heal the wound from removal. Clotting disorders are another issue. People with diabetes have to be especially careful with their feet.

While the toenails can be removed, sometimes it just isn’t the best option medically.
