“…All these have variable rates of recurrence (2,5,7,15). Surgical approaches have been reported as the best option for treating stage II and III ingrown toenails, because conservative approaches, which have positive results for stage I, result in greater rates of failure and recurrence (1,3,7,11,15,16).…”

“…Wearing tight shoes, cutting the nails too short or not cutting the nails straight, excess internal pressure caused by overcurvature of the nail plate, arthritis, skeletal abnormalities, diabetes, obesity, and nail changes in the elderly are among the many reasons for the presence of ingrown toenails (2,5,7,11,15).…”

“…The recurrence of ingrown toenails can occur 2 years after treatment; therefore, the follow-up period is very important to evaluate the effectiveness of the different treatment approaches (3,15). In the present retrospective comparative study, the progression-free follow-up period was estimated to be 15.45 AE 0.22 months after treatment with nail braces and 17.18 AE 0.29 months after treatment using the Winograd technique.…”

Background: Onychocryptosis is a common and debilitating condition that often require surgical management. Despite this minor procedure being the most common and effective method in managing this condition, as well as being one of the essential services provided by Health Care Professional Council (HCPC) registered podiatrists, there is limited evidence around the effectiveness of this procedure in the community setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a non-invasive minor procedure for the management of onychocryptosis. Methods: A retrospective study was undertaken within the community podiatry department. All patients who underwent minor procedure for the management of onychocryptosis between June 2018 and December 2019 were included in this study. The data were collected from the electronic patient records using a comprehensive data collection tool. Recurrence rate and infection rate were calculated to determine the effectiveness of the minor procedure. Results: 354 minor procedures were performed on 272 patients presenting with onychocryptosis. The recurrence rate of nail regrowth following intervention was 5.6% (N=20). Patients <40 years old were more likely to experience a recurrence of nail regrowth following an intervention (N=16). The postoperative infection rate was 8.8% (N=31). Patients who had a partial nail avulsion procedure were more likely to experience postoperative infection compared to total nail avulsion.Conclusions: Although the management of onychocryptosis with this minor procedure is effective within the community podiatry department, incorporation of evaluation of patient satisfaction following this procedure is suggested within the recommendations. The limitations of this study have been highlighted and a mixed method research project is recommended to explore this area of specialty to improve patient outcome.

“…Surgical intervention is generally recommended for stage 2 and 3 diseases, and the optimal surgical therapy for ingrown toenail is still controversial. 1,3,12,[16][17][18][19] Th e main objective of this study was to compare the two methods of surgical matricectomy (SM) and matricectomy with electrocauterization (ME), particularly in terms of recurrence and postoperative pain.…”

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.
