    Summary

    Surgical intervention for congenital ingrown toenails in children, including nail removal and nail wall resection, proved highly effective. This treatment resulted in no relapses, offering a lasting solution for this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Podiatry

    Context:

    • Ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) are a common condition in children.
    • Congenital cases present unique challenges due to early onset and potential severity.
    • Previous conservative treatments were often unsuccessful in this cohort.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical intervention for congenital ingrown toenails in pediatric patients.
    • To determine the long-term outcomes and relapse rates following surgical treatment.
    • To investigate the potential etiological link to congenital hyperplasia of the nail bed.

    Summary:

    • A study involving 36 children (14 days to 4 years) with congenital ingrown toenails was conducted between 1973-1983.
    • Surgical treatment, including nail removal (complete or incomplete) and nail wall resection, was performed.
    • Pathological germs were identified in 8 cases, but conservative therapy failed; surgery achieved a 100% success rate with no relapses.

    Impact:

    • Surgical management, including nail wall resection, is a definitive treatment for congenital ingrown toenails in children.
    • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate and prevents recurrence.
    • Findings support congenital hyperplasia of the nail bed as a likely cause.
