Objective Although ingrown toenails are a common health problem, there is no consensus about a standard first-choice treatment. Different non-surgical and surgical interventions for ingrown toenails are available. Our aim was to compare two surgical treatment methods for ingrown toenails; matricectomy with electrocauterization (ME) and surgical matricectomy (SM). Materials and Methods A total of 111 patients with ingrown toenail were randomized into two groups: surgical matricectomy and matricectomy with electrocauterization. All cases were evaluated 1 day, 1 week, 3 and 6 months after treatment. Recurrence rates, visual analog scale (VAS) scores were compared. Results Postoperative 1st day mean VAS score in ME group was higher than SM group (1.94 vs 0.93), and our result was statistically significant, but there was no difference in 8th day VAS scores. Mean recurrence rate was higher in ME group compared to SM group (33.96% vs 1.72%) and this result was also statistically significant. Conclusion SM is more effective method compared to ME method in terms of postoperative pain and recurrence in the treatment of ingrown toenail.

Ingrown toenails are mainly a condition of children and young adults, whereas ingrown fingernail and pincer nails are seen in adults. Their etiology is multifactorial. Different types of ingrowing nails require different treatments. Neonatal ones are always treated conservatively. The hypertrophic lateral nail wall seldom requires surgery. Congenital misalignment of the big toenail may resolve spontaneously, but delay in treatment may cause permanent nail dystrophy. The juvenile type is most common and is treated conservatively in its early stages. Selective matrix horn phenolization or excision is the treatment of choice for later stages. Pincer nails are due to widening of the base of the distal phalanx. Treatment is aimed at reducing the outward pressure of the lateral osteophytes on the matrix horns and permanently flattening the nail. A variety of different methods are discussed.

“…1 The ideal treatment method for ingrown nail must be effective, inexpensive, and simple and not require hospitalization; care after the procedure should be minimal; the risk of complications after the procedure should be low; and the rate of relapse should be low. 1,9 The approach to the treatment of ingrown nails, keeping in mind the clinical and treatment options, can be divided into three groups 1 : conservative approach (generally preferred in patients with grade 1 ingrown nails), conservative or surgical approach (preferred in patients with grade 2 or 3 ingrown nails), and surgical approach (generally preferred in patients with grade 3 ingrown nails).…”
