Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Podiatry

Background:

  • Onychocryptosis (ingrown toenails) is a common global condition.
  • Early self-treatment attempts often exacerbate the condition.
  • Clinical presentation can be misdiagnosed as other bone or soft-tissue abnormalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and treatment of onychocryptosis.
  • To emphasize the importance of professional medical care.
  • To discuss the role of matricectomy in preventing recurrence.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of onychocryptosis diagnosis and management.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes, including nail avulsion and matricectomy.
  • Discussion of differential diagnoses.

Main Results:

  • Onychocryptosis requires professional diagnosis to rule out other conditions.
  • Nail avulsion is a key component of treatment.
  • Matricectomy significantly reduces the rate of recurrence.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective onychocryptosis management.
  • Matricectomy techniques should be chosen based on patient and provider preference.
  • Preventing recurrence through appropriate matricectomy is essential for long-term patient welfare.
