Altering Toenail Biomechanic in Managing Ingrown Toenail.

Ingrown toenail is commonly met in clinical practice.treatment may be non-operative and operative treatment.operative trestment depends on lateral wedge resection of the nail. The idea is to change toenail biomechanics by central toenail resection.

About this study

The aim of this study is to compare between central toenail resection with ordinary lateral wedge resection in managing ingrown toenail. This study was performed on 100 patients divided into 2 groupd each is 50 patients. Group A underwent central resection while group B underwent lateral toenail resection.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patient with ingrown toenail
  • Patients from 10 years up to 35 years

Exclusion criteria

  • patients with concurrent toe deformity
  • patients less than 10 years or more than 35 years

Treatment and study plan

Central toenail resection

Procedure

Using local aneasthesia, resection of central part of toenail with germinal matrix.

Other names: Surgical resection

Wedge toenail resection

Procedure

Using local anaesthesia,we remove lateral part of toenail .

Other names: Surgical resection

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperative pain on visual analog score for pain

    Time frame: six month

    All patients are pain free after 5 days postoperative

  2. Intraoperative time measured in minutes

    Time frame: Six month

    All operations end within 15 minutes.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Recurrence after operation

    Time frame: six month

    Recurrence is followed up by asking the patient to follow up in outpatient clinic after six month and also,by calling the patients in telephone.
