Abstract:
An illustrative case of bilateral ingrowing toe-nails highlights the practical advantages of the use of the plastic nail guard (PNG). Insertion of the PNG is inexpensive and is easy to learn and perform. The technique is described and discussed. Its recurrence rate compares favourably with simple avulsion and wedge resection.
