This book discusses all therapeutic options regarding ingrowing toenails, from conservative to surgery. No single technique is promoted, but a rational approach according to the clinical presentation is proposed. The authors have a wide experience in nail surgery and master all published procedures. In this book they offer to the reader an algorithm of the management of ingrowing nails, as there is no “cure-all” procedure.
