    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Podiatry
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Ingrown fingernails (onychocryptosis) can cause significant pain and discomfort.
    • Nail plate curvature is a potential contributing factor to nail embedding.

    Observation:

    • A clinical case of an embedded fingernail is presented.
    • The patient's nail plates exhibited increased curvature.

    Findings:

    • The increased curvature of the nail plates was identified as a key etiological factor.
    • Successful treatment was achieved using a modified Winograd technique, originally described for embedded toenails.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests that the Winograd method may be effective for treating embedded fingernails.
  • Further research could explore the efficacy of this technique in a larger patient cohort.
  • Understanding the role of nail curvature in onychocryptosis can inform treatment strategies.
