The Influence of Clinical Factors on Treatment Outcome and a Recurrence of Surgically Removed Protruded Subungual Osteochondroma and Subungual Exostosis.

Background: Subungual exostosis (SE) and subungual osteochondroma (SO) are benign solitary lesions that grow from the distal phalanx. The mass itself is typically painless, but pressure on the nail plate can result in pain and deformity of the involved digit. Tumors can be correctly diagnosed based on clinical, histological and radiographic appearance alone.

Efficacy of a tip of the big toe remodeling in the distal nail embedding with bone overgrowth of the distal phalanx.

Introduction: Distal nail embedding due to hyponychium hypertrophy can be caused by traumatic or surgical avulsion of the nail. As a consequence of these changes, the nail plate is blocked through the deformed tip of the toe. Changes that occur at the tip of the big toe are due to bone growth on the dorsal surface of the distal end of the distal phalanx.

Recurrence and satisfaction with sutured surgical treatment of an ingrown toenail.

Background: In the present study, we investigated the satisfaction of patients following sutured surgical treatment of an ingrown toenail with nail preservation and without matricectomy.

Materials And Methods: This study was retrospective. In total, 37 consecutive patients underwent 54 ingrown toenail surgeries.
