Nonrandomized Assessment of Ingrown ToenaiLs Treated by Excision of Skinfold Rather Than Toenail

NCT02067897 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Ingrown toenails occur when the nail grows into the surrounding skin, resulting in pain and infection. The most common procedure to treat this problem is a wedge excision (removal of part of the toenail) and matricectomy (destruction of part of the nailbed with chemicals or surgical instruments). This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an alternative technique called the Vandenbos procedure (where the skin is removed and the toenail is left intact). This procedure is currently being used by some of the pediatric surgeons at our hospital and we want to evaluate our results up to 6 months after surgery. We believe that the true recurrence rate will be greater than 0% but that recovery time and morbidity will be acceptable to most patients.
