Ingrowing toenails are common, cause serious disability, and affect mainly young men. Most patients with ingrowing toenails are usually male, between the ages of 15 and 40 years. <\/p>

There is a spectrum to the clinical presentation with pain progressing to infection, hypergranulation, and finally chronic infection.<\/p>

Ingrowing toenails can occur in normal or abnormally shaped nails.<\/p>

Cases in abnormally shaped nails are more difficult to manage conservatively and usually require surgery<\/p>

Historically, a recurrence rate of 13-50% has been reported after surgical treatment, although more recent papers have reported recurrence rates of less than 5%.<\/p>

Symptoms are less likely to recur after partial nail avulsion and segmental phenol ablation than after simple nail avulsion or wedge excisions alone.<\/p>
