Abstract
Onychocryptosis, or ingrown toenail (IGTN), is a painful condition commonly resulting from improper nail trimming or hypertrophic lateral nail folds. We present a rare variant in which the entire distal nail plate becomes embedded within markedly hypertrophic nail folds, forming a tunnel-like structure. This case was successfully managed with radiofrequency excision followed by chemical matricectomy. This combined approach proved highly effective, offering excellent outcomes with minimal complications.
