Abstract
Ingrowing nails are not uncommon in children, and even so receive little at tention in the pediatric surgery literature. The purpose of the present stu dy was to demonstrate our modification of the conservative treatment of ing rowing nails. Our technique of local treatment combined with patient educat ion for better foot and toe care was successfully used and well tolerated b y 19 out of 20 young patients with ingrown toenails.
