Ingrown toenails are one of the most frequent nail disorders of young persons. They may negatively influence daily activities, cause discomfort and pain. Since more than 1000 years, many different treatments have been proposed. Today, conservative and surgical methods are available, which, when carried out with expertise, are able to cure the disease. Packing, taping, gutter treatment, and nail braces are options for relatively mild cases whereas surgery is exclusively done by physicians. Phenolisation of the lateral matrix horn is now the safest, simplest, and most commonly performed method with the lowest recurrence rate. Wedge excisions can no longer be recommended

“…The main contraindications for chemical matricectomy are moderate to severe vascular disease of the foot, factors delaying wound healing, and allergy to the chemical used. 8,9 Surgical Treatment Surgical treatment is the best option available for stage 2 or 3 ingrown nails, as conservative approaches have high rates of failure and recurrence. Many surgical techniques have been proposed (Table 2).…”

PURPOSE Ingrown toenail is one of the most common nail conditions. Although many surgical treatments are described for complicated cases, recurrence of pain and postoperative disability are common. We evaluated the long-term effi cacy of proximolateral matrix partial excision followed by chemical matricectomy with phenol. METHODSWe performed 348 proximolateral partial matricectomies and phenol ablations in 225 patients with stage 2 or 3 ingrown toenail. Patients were examined weekly until full wound healing was achieved and were observed for 24 months to assess the long-term effi cacy of the treatment.RESULTS Short-term results were good. We observed only 1 recurrence during the 24-month follow-up period, at 8 months. The success rate was therefore 99.7%. No severe complications occurred. Cosmetic results were remarkably good.CONCLUSIONS Proximolateral partial matricectomy with phenol ablation is an excellent surgical method for the treatment of ingrown toenails, having low morbidity and a high success rate, even in the long term.

“…28 The procedure is highly effective with reported success rates above 90%. 23,[29][30][31] Another advantage of the procedure is highlighted in a recent Cochrane Database Review which found reduced ingrown nail recurrence rates in phenol versus sharp excisional matricectomies. 15 …”
