“…This technique has been reported to have a good outcome in two patients for which previous surgical treatment had failed 4. Nail brace applications have also been reported as having a good outcome both in adults5 and children 6. For this procedure braces are applied to the toenail that will gradually lift the side of the toenail forcing it to grow to a flatter shape.…”

A two-year-old Yorkshire terrier was referred for treatment of abnormal growth of all nails of both thoracic limbs. Progressive fear aggression precluded nail clipping without the use of chemical restraint. Permanent cessation of nail growth was achieved by nail plate avulsion and phenolisation in all eight thoracic limb digits. After three years of follow-up, there was no evidence of nail regrowth on any of the digits. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of nail plate avulsion and phenolisation of multiple digits in the veterinary literature.

“…Nail brace application has been used as a noninvasive and effective option for treating ingrown nail, [1][2][3][4][5] showing good efficacy for ingrown toenails of both the hallux 1,2,4,6 and the lesser toes. 7 In a prospective study, up to 95% of patients treated with nail braces showed major improvement, reduced pain and high patient satisfaction.…”

Background: Nail braces are reportedly effective for treating both acute inflamed and chronic dystrophic type ingrown toenails. Aims: In this study, risk factors for poorly controlled and recurrence-prone ingrown toenails treated with nail braces were identified. Methods: We performed a retrospective study on patients with ingrown toenails between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2018. The last follow-up date was January 31, 2019. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the possible factors associated with poorly controlled status (ongoing paronychia during treatment) and recurrence. Results: There were 120 (244 sides) and 118 patients (167 sides) with chronic dystrophic and acute inflamed type ingrown toenails, respectively. The mean treatment duration and follow-up period were 161.2 ± 98.3 days and 432.7 ± 320.9 days, respectively. Poor control and recurrence were seen in 7.3% (17/232) and 12.2% (27/221) of the patients, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, acute inflamed ingrown toenails, previous nail avulsion, proximal nail fold hypertrophy and more than one affected side remained significantly associated with poorly controlled ingrown toenails. Foot bone deformity was significantly associated with recurrence. Limitations: This study was a retrospective study so that confounding factors such as comorbidities, body mass index, accompanying nail changes and lifestyle could not be evaluated. Conclusion: Several risk factors related to poor control and recurrence were identified. Patients could therefore benefit from more suitable treatment plans with reasonable expectation.

“…This nail brace has been reported to have good efficacy for ingrown toenails of big toes. 3 The length of the wire can be adjusted according to the size of the nail. The wire is shaped into a hook and attached to 1 side of the nail rim, and the pad is glued onto the nail.…”
