Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Ingrown Toenail (Onychocryptosis)

In brief

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the recurrence rates of two surgical techniques-Winograd procedure and sleeve (gutter) method-in the treatment of ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis). A total of 312 nails will be randomized into two groups, with patients receiving either the Winograd procedure or sleeve method. Participants will be followed for 30 days post-intervention to assess recurrence and other clinical outcomes. The study seeks to determine the more effective treatment modality for reducing recurrence in a tertiary care setting.
