“…A prospective study was conducted by Erdogan et al 25 in 2014, which reported a recurrence rate of 12.4% in 88 patients with onychocryptosis treated with onycho-orthoses. However, the study included patients with all severity stages, so we cannot infer on its utility in each stage based on this high recurrence rate.…”

Onychocryptosis is an inflammatory disease of the lateral nail fold resulting from the embedding of the lateral border of the nail plate in the periungual soft tissues with consequential formation of granulation tissue and hypertrophy of the lateral nail fold. Therapeutic options include conservative and surgical strategies. There is no consensus regarding the strategy to be adopted at each stage of severity. The bibliographic research for the elaboration of this paper was obtained through PubMed and ClinicalKey platforms. Review articles, scientific articles and descriptions of clinical cases were selected. After careful and critical analysis of the selected articles, the present literature review was carried out. The therapeutic choice for each stage of onychocryptosis is complex. Conservative treatment is safe, convenient, and inexpensive, yet it only has proven efficacy in stage I. Matricectomy with phenol or other agents after partial nail avulsion proved to be safe, inexpensive, and effective, thus being the first line in the treatment of stages II or III. Soft tissue resection techniques proved to be effective in cases of marked hypertrophy of the nail folds but are more invasive and lead to a longer recovery period. In such cases, it is recommendable to perform a resection of the periungual soft tissues, with Howard-Dubois, Vandenbos and Super U techniques being the most effective and chosen according to the location and severity of the hypertrophy of the nail folds. When treating onychocryptosis, the conservative approach is indicated for stage I, while surgical treatment is indicated for stages II and III. The first line in stages II and III should be 88% phenol solution matricectomy. New prospective comparative studies and randomized trials are necessary to implement a standardized clinical approach.

“…Adequate classification criteria of purulent-necrotic complications of onychomycosis are proposed with the selection of the main types of lesions, in each of which clinical variants are differentiated according to the severity of morphological changes, which are of practical importance for the sequence of removal of affected nails. It is claimed that the use of minimally invasive nail removal helps to accelerate the elimination of the fungus and the healing of wounds, improve the results of complex treatment and the quality of life of patients [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…Multiple risk factors for ingrown toenails have been reported including improper nail trimming technique, onychotillomania, trauma, history of nail surgery, constricting footwear, obesity, bony abnormalities, hyperhidrosis, and onychomycosis, most often there are multifactorial etiologies [11,12].…”
