Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

The modified Noel's technique for ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) shows fewer complications and faster healing than matrix phenolization. It is also effective for severe stage IV onychocryptosis.

Background:

Onychocryptosis (ingrown toenails) is a common condition requiring effective treatment.
Choosing the right treatment depends on individual patient factors.
Clinical intervention for onychocryptosis is frequently necessary.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the efficacy and safety of the modified Noel's technique versus matrix phenolization for onychocryptosis.
To evaluate the modified Noel's technique's success in severe (stage IV) onychocryptosis cases.

Main Methods:

A comparative study involving 107 participants with onychocryptosis.
Participants were treated with either the modified Noel's technique (73 patients) or matrix phenolization (34 patients).
Outcomes assessed included clinical cure rates, healing time, postoperative complications, and pain.

onychocryptosis

Main Results:

The modified Noel's technique group had significantly fewer complications (5.88% vs. 45.2%) and shorter healing times (13.5 days vs. 27.6 days).
Cure rates were similar between groups (P=0.62), but the matrix phenolization group experienced nail plate narrowing in 33% of cases.
The modified Noel's technique achieved a 100% cure rate in stage IV onychocryptosis patients.

Conclusions:

The modified Noel's technique is a safe and effective treatment for onychocryptosis, with lower complication rates and faster healing.
This technique is particularly suitable for stage IV onychocryptosis and patients concerned about aesthetic outcomes.
It offers precise excision and strategic suturing, addressing patient needs for both efficacy and appearance.
