A novel cosmetic approach for partial matricectomy in treating ingrown toenails

Abstract: BackgroundToenails play a great part in protecting toes and peripheral soft tissues, simultaneously playing a cosmetic role. The ideal treatment should result in a functional and aesthetic outcome.ObjectiveTo describe a novel, aesthetic and minimally invasive method to treat ingrown toenail.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 436 lesions of 395 ingrown toes in 353 patients with a mean age of 26.0 ± 13.4 (range 10–55) from June 2014 to March 2020 in our department.

“…This approach is advocated in the literature for a broad spectrum of indications including: when there is a singular incidence of ingrown toenail with no underlying nail pathology; removal of fungal nail in preparation for treatment; and poor healing capacity [ 18 ]. In addition to specific clinical indications for this procedure, there is also increasing awareness of the post‐operative cosmetic appearance following nail surgery [ 19 ]. Given the breadth of indications for nail avulsion without matrixectomy, it seems surprising that 40% do not offer this option and suggests that matrixectomy may be over‐used in practice and there may be opportunities to improve the use of shared decision making in this process.…”
