Abstract
Ingrown nail or onychocryptosis is a common and prevalent condition associated with pain and discomfort resulting from recurrent inflammation. It is further categorized into 3 grades on the basis of severity as per classification by Heifetz and Mogensen, grade 1 can be easily managed with medical treatment; whereas grades 2 and 3 often requires surgical treatment; the most common surgical technique employed for ingrown nail is the simple nail avulsion by using a nail clipper. we have observed that due to the force of the nail clipper small amount of detachment in between nail plate and nail bed in addition to longer downtime post-procedure, so we proposed a new surgical modification of nail avulsion by using 11 no. surgical blade instead of nail clippers leading to very less trauma to nail bed and fine post-procedure outcomes.
