Abstract:
Many procedures to correct ingrown toenails are available; however, they cannot avoid recurrence and nail deformities. We have performed a procedure which corrects ingrown toenail without reducing the width of the nail plate by elevating the nail bed-periosteal flap. Sixty patients were observed for longer than six months and exhibited excellent results. Only two cases of incurvated nails (2) required re-operation.
