Brief summary
Ingrown toenail has become one of the most prevalent onychopathies and a frequent reason for consultation in podiatry clinics. In the initial stages of the pathology, conservative treatments are the first choice of therapy. The aim was therefore, to analyze and compare the efficacy of the technique of nail re-education with gauze bandage and nail remodelling for the conservative treatment of onychocryptosis in stage I and IIA, A prospective, longitudinal, randomised clinical trial-type analytical study is proposed. A sample of 20 subjects with stage I and IIA onychocryptosis will be selected. Of these, 10 cases were part of the gauze bandage nail re-education group and the remaining 10 cases were part of the nail remodelling group.
