“…In 2001, Plusjé also used phenol combined with surgery to correct PND [51]. They applied phenol to the matrix horns before operating on the distal phalanx, contrasting Sugamata and Inuzuka's method [52]. In 2011, Sugamata and Inuzuka incised the nail plate longitudinally from the top to the root with fine-tipped scissors [52].…”

A pincer nail is a common nail deformity of toenails and is characterized by nail thickening and nail plate deformation. It often causes severe pain for patients. We perform a thorough literature review and an additional review of pertinent clinical cases, aiming to provide a comprehensive review of the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical classification, differential diagnosis, and treatment of pincer nail deformity (PND). Understanding the clinical characteristics and treatment progress of a pincer nail will provide clinicians with comprehensive and evidence-based information about PND, thus allowing the selection of an appropriate treatment according to the patient’s request and the clinical manifestations of PND, which should maximize patient satisfaction.

“…The unnatural appearance of the nail bed is an issue after pincer nail surgery, possibly because of the loss of the natural plump appearance around the damaged paronychium 6) , the apparently freed nail plate at the distal end of the toe, and due to poor contact between the nail plate and the inserted skin flap. To overcome this aesthetic issue, we designed incision lines 2-3 mm from the lateral nail grooves, which potentially preserved the natural form of the paronychium.…”

A pincer nail is a deformity characterized by transverse overcurvature of the distal half of the nail plate, commonly of the great toe. Since the first report by Cornelius et al. in 1968 1) , several studies have reported the pathology and treatment of pincer nails. In previous studies, two problems have not been solved. The first problem was the formation of dead space on each side of the distal phalanx during operation. Some methods to fill the dead space have been reported 2-5) ; however, all of them involve complex maneuvers. The second problem was the unnatural form of the nail bed after surgery 6). Here, we report a simple and effective procedure to treat the pathology of pincer nail deformity, which overcomes the above-mentioned problems. Materials and methods Patients The study population comprised 25 patients who underwent surgery to treat a total of 30 pincer nails on their great toes. The surgery was performed by a single surgeon between April 2013 and March 2017. Among the 25 patients, five were males and 20 were females, and the mean age was 67.4 years. Assessment methods Still images and lateral radiographs of the affected toe were taken preoperatively (Fig. 1a, b, c) to confirm the indication for surgery, which was the presence of an osteophyte in the distal phalanx. The axial images of the great toe, taken before and after surgery, were analyzed using ImageJ, developed by

Ingrown nail and pincer nail are common diseases. Although they are sometimes indistinguishable and described together, they are different conditions. Pincer nail is a situation where nail plate is curved transversely. On the other hand, ingrown nail represents a condition, where lateral edge of nail cuts deep into the lateral nail fold causing severe inflammation and even pyogenic granuloma. Ingrown nail and pincer nail coexist in some patients. In certain occupational environments, these nail diseases frequently occur as well as irritant and allergic skin diseases. In addition, they may take place in patients receiving epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors. Different approaches should be made for the treatment of these nail conditions. Historically, surgical interventions, as exemplified by partial avulsion of nail plate and matricectomy, were usually selected. Currently, a number of preservative methods have been emerging, including nail sculpture, Tsume Flat®, Pedigrass®, VHO®, and hyperelastic wire. However, there has been no golden standard. Each facility takes its own method for the treatment. In this review, we explain these preservative methods as well as surgical interventions.
