Background: Onychocryptosis, or ingrown toenail, is a common condition affecting patients of varying age groups, although usually, younger patients are affected.
Methods: We compared two techniques used in our institution: Winograd wedge resection with matrixectomy (WG-M) versus partial nail avulsion with phenolization of the nail matrix (PNA-P).
Results: Primary outcomes of interest were presence of nail regrowth and patient satisfaction postoperatively. Secondary outcomes were postoperative pain (within the first 2 weeks and after 2 weeks), postoperative inflammation, and healing time. A total of 65 patients were included in this study: 44 patients (19 female and 25 male patients), with a mean age of 45.7 years (range, 16–83 years) underwent WG-M in the orthopedic surgery department, whereas a total of 21 patients (10 female and 11 male patients), with a mean age of 44.5 years (range, 13 to 75 years) underwent PNA-P in the podiatry department. In patients who underwent WG-M, there was one case of regrowth (2.3%) compared with no regrowth cases (0%) in the PNA-P group. There was no significant difference in regrowth rate between the two procedures (P = .494). The satisfaction rate was high for both procedures: 100% patients in the WG-M group rated themselves better than before surgery, compared with 95.7% in the PNA-P group.
Conclusions: From our study, we conclude that both techniques (WG-M and PNA-P) are able to achieve similar clinical outcomes, with the PNA-P procedure being less invasive and less resource intensive, and also achieving a shorter healing time.
