Recurrent ingrown toenails: How should secondary surgery be managed? - 2025.

An ingrown toenail is caused by mechanical conflict between the nail plate and the periungual groove. This conflict causes inflammation and weakening of the groove, leading to bacterial infection. Recurrence of an ingrown toenail that has been surgically treated refers to the reappearance of symptoms after surgical treatment. It usually occurs within 3 months of the initial procedure. Management of recurrences should not completely rule out a new non-surgical treatment in cases of minor relapse. If further surgery is indicated, it should be preceded by a thorough clinical examination and additional tests.
