Abstract
Summary: A series of 528 patients with ingrowing toenails has been operated on under local anaesthetic by one surgeon using a simple technique in which a segment of germinal matrix is completely excised without cutting skin and with minimal interference with the nail wall. Normal footwear was worn by the fifth day in 79 per cent of patients. The recurrence rate was 1.7 per cent.Keywords
