Area of Science:

  • Podiatry
  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Guidelines

Background:

  • Ingrown toenails (unguish incarnatus) are a prevalent condition affecting the general population.
  • A recent medical guideline published in early 2020 offers updated treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare various treatment options for ingrown toenails based on the latest medical guideline.
  • To provide clear recommendations for managing different stages of ingrown toenails.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of the "Ingrown toenail" medical specialists' guideline.
  • Comparison of conservative versus operative treatment approaches for different ingrown toenail stages.

Main Results:

  • Conservative treatment is suitable for stage I ingrown toenails.
  • Operative treatment, including partial nail extraction and matrix destruction, is recommended for stages II-III and treatment-resistant cases.

Conclusions:

  • The guideline's recommendations are applicable to recurring ingrown toenails and patients with compromised wound healing.
  • A detailed operative approach is available on the Guidelines database.
