Luckily I ripped my toenail's arms off, so he can't pull this shit.
how do I perform this
OP might be talking about a procedure where a podiatrist or dermatologist kills the mis-growing edges of the nail root. The remaining root grows a narrower nail, but hopefully a straighter one. Sometimes the process doesn't work the first time (hard to judge how much cell-kill stuff will get just the edges and not damage the middle) and has to be repeated.
Do not rip a toenail's arms off. Only a paid professional toenail armripper should perform the procedure.
If you hit it hard enough you will lose the toenail. Normally this does also break and or fracture the digit.
Or you could soak it in prescription strength urea for a couple of days to get the nail to fall off. Less collateral damage that way.
what about amputation
