Abstract

Objectives: There are many options for the treatment of ingrown toenail, ranging from simple conservative approaches to extensive surgical procedures, but stage 3 ingrown toenails are best treated surgically. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of lateral wedge resection described by Mogensen in patients with ingrown toenail of the great toe.
