Abstract
Ingrowing toenails are a common debilitating condition and often require surgical intervention. In 44 patients liquid nitrogen spray cryotherapy produced a rate of success comparable with that of other nail sparing techniques but had the advantage of being a quick, simple, and cheap outpatient procedure that could be carried out with limited facilities and without anaesthesia.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
