“…Surgical techniques of ingrown toenails involve removal of the affected side of the nail and matricectomy, often with phenol, 16 sodium hydroxide 17 or wedge resection 18 but may have certain disadvantages, such as prolonged wound healing or infection, 19 restriction of everyday activities, scars, or deformations. Various authors have reported that patients prefer conservative treatments over invasive surgical procedures 20–22 .…”

Onychocryptosis, also known as "ingrown nail," was first defined in 1845 by Lewis Durlacher as "nail that grows into the interior of the flesh" as a result of its excessive curvature, which causes pain and inflammation of the surrounding tissues. Nonetheless, this was not the most appropriate definition since other authors attribute the cause to hypertrophy of the lateral nail fold due to improper cutting of the

“…Además, dado que hay una importante carga bacteriana en el pliegue ungueal 16 , esta solución podría ser útil para reducir esta carga y así reducir los tiempos de curación. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar el tiempo de curación y la carga bacteriana en dos tipos de curas (gel de povidona yodada como grupo de control y solución ácida electrolizada con flujo controlado como grupo experimental) en la matricectomía ungueal total de fenol-alcohol.…”

Efecto de la solución ácida electrolizada de flujo controlado (SAEFC) en el tiempo de recuperación de matricectomías totales con fenol: ensayo clínico aleatorizadoThe effect of controlled flux electrolyzed acid solution (SAEFC) protocol in the recovery of phenol total matricectomy: a randomized controlled trial Palabras clave:Matricectomía total, fenol, protocolo, curas, solución ácida electrolizada de flujo controlado (SAEFC). ResumenIntroducción: Existen diferentes tipos de protocolos de curas en matricectomías químicas totales. Recientemente, la solución ácida electrolizada de flujo controlado (SAEFC) ha sido usada para tratar quemaduras. Así, el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el tiempo de cicatrización total y la carga bacteriana en dos tipos de curas.Pacientes y métodos: Sobre 28 matricectomías químicas totales, en la primera cura posquirúrgica, se realizaron aleatoriamente dos tipos de curas: grupo 1 aplicación de SAEFC (manteniendo húmedo el vendaje); grupo 2, curas diarias con povidona yodada en gel. Se realizó un contaje de unidades formadoras de colonias en la primera visita posquirúrgica y a los tres días. La evolución fue seguida cada tres días para determinar el tiempo de cicatrización total.Resultados: La media de los días de recuperación fue menor (29.2 ± 3.2) en el grupo 1 que en el grupo 2 (34.3 ± 4.1) (p = 0.023). En la primera visita posquirúrgica no hubo diferencias (p > 0.05) en la carga bacteriana entre los grupos. En el segundo cultivo (5 días después de la cirugía) la carga bacteriana en el grupo 1 fue 0.42 ± 0.38 × 10 4 y en el grupo 2, 0.63 ± 0.48 × 10 4 siendo la diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre ambos (p = 0.012).Conclusión: En las matricectomías químicas totales, el protocolo de curas son la solución ácida electrolizada de flujo controlado (SAEFC) proporciona una reducción de cinco días en el tiempo de recuperación. Además, la menor carga bacteriana observada con este protocolo de curas puede ayudar a prevenir las infecciones en la cirugía ungueal. AbstractIntroduction: There are different cures protocols to manage total chemical matricectomies. Recently, the controlled flux electrolyzed acid solution has been used to treat burns, so, the aim of the study was to compare the total healing time and bacterial load in two types of cures.Patients and methods: In a sample of 28 chemical total matricectomies, in the first postoperative visit (48 h), two groups were made at random: group 1, applying of controlled flux electrolyzed acid solution (maintaining ever wet the bandage); group 2 (iodate povidone in gel) were made. A count of bacterial colony forming units was taken at this postoperative visit and three days later. Also, the evolution of both groups was followed every three days, to determine the total healing time.Results: Mean days of discharge were lower (29.2 ± 3.2 days) in the Group 1 than in group 2 (34.3 ± 4.1) (p = 0.023). The bacterial load at the 48 hours first visit was not different between groups, (p > 0.05). At the second culture (5 days after the su...
