Retronychia Treated with Proximal Nail Avulsion; two Cases Successfully Treated with this Technique and the First cases of Retronychia Occurring After Chemical Matricectomy
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe three cases of retronychia; a chronic case where total nail avulsion had to be performed since the inflammation persisted after proximal nail avulsion and the first two cases of retronychia on an early clinical stage successfully treated with partial nail avulsion. We also describe the first two cases of retronychia appearing after a chemical matricectomy, occurring on the same patient.

It frequently affects women (∼82%), and the great toes are the most common location. The most frequent trigger is (micro) trauma. With trauma th...
متن کاملPartial Matricectomy with Curettage vs Partial Matricectomy with Phenolization in the Treatment of Ingrown Toe Nail; A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Ingrown toe nail (IGTN) is a painful condition in which the distal-lateral corner of the nail grows into its surrounding soft tissue leading to inflammation and infection. Failure of conservative therapy is an indication for surgical interventions. The aim of this study is to compare matricectomy by curettage with chemical matricectomy with phenol 88% in terms of post procedur...

BACKGROUND Ingrown nails are a very common problem. There are different stages of disease and diverse therapeutic options. Phenol and sodium hydroxide are commonly used agents for chemical matricectomy but both frequently entail excessive healing times. OBJECTIVE This prospective study aimed mainly to evaluate the efficacy of partial nail avulsion and selective chemical cauterization of the m...
متن کاملSimple Surgical Technique for Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Background: Ingrown toenails are a common condition which, when recurrent and painful, are often treated surgically. This study proposes a new simple surgical technique for ingrown toenails with good results.Method: We selected 150 patients with 185 affected toes who were surgically treated by our techniques carried out from April 1995 to March 2004. This technique consisted of marginal n...
متن کاملType II Intertrochanteric Fractures: Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN) Versus Dynamic Hip Screw(DHS)
Background: Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. Not many studies compare the DHS with Proximal femoral nail (PFN), in Type II intertrochanteri...
