About

Ingrown toenail is commonly met in clinical practice.treatment may be non-operative and operative treatment.operative trestment depends on lateral wedge resection of the nail. The idea is to change toenail biomechanics by central toenail resection.

Full description

The aim of this study is to compare between central toenail resection with ordinary lateral wedge resection in managing ingrown toenail. This study was performed on 100 patients divided into 2 groupd each is 50 patients. Group A underwent central resection while group B underwent lateral toenail resection.

Enrollment: 10 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 10 to 35 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• patient with ingrown toenail
• Patients from 10 years up to 35 years

Exclusion criteria

• patients with concurrent toe deformity
• patients less than 10 years or more than 35 years

10 participants in 2 patient groups

Central toenail resection

Active Comparator group

Description:

Under local ring anaesthesua using xylocaine injection in base of big toe ,Surgical resection of the central part of toenail with underlying germinal matrix.the defect is sutures by prolene.

Treatment:

Procedure: Central toenail resection

wedge toenail resection

Active Comparator group

Description:

Under local ring anaesthesiausing xylocaine injection around the base of big toe. Resect lateral wedge of toenail with removal of ingrown toenail and periungual skin. The wound is then sutured.

Treatment:

Procedure: Wedge toenail resection
