I have an implant for a joint in my big toe, have had for several years. My toe nail at the top of the cuticle is turning black, no pain, no redness or swelling, could this implant be causing that to turn?

Hello Anon
Thank you for writing!
We cannot say what is causing this black nail but you need to have it seen to. It could be a dead nail (which should come off eventually on it's own) or an infection or even a sign of nail melanoma. Please make an appointment to have this nail evaluated.
