A comparison of effectiveness and cosmetic outcome of two methods for ingrown toenail: partial nail matricectomy using CO2 laser versus lateral nail fold excision.

CONCLUSION: The treatment outcome was slightly better in the PNM group than in the LNFE group, and vice-versa for the cosmetic outcome. There were nearly similar outcomes in terms of the mean time of repair, pain duration, return to daily activity, and infection rate using both methods. PMID: 32566949 [PubMed - in process]
