The ingrowing toenail is a painful foot condition that can be treated by most rural physicians. If it is not too severe, conservative management can be initiated first. If the situation is not improving or is worsening, removal of the nail plate with destruction of the nail matrix, by either surgical or chemical matricectomy, is indicated. Neither matricectomy technique is particularly complicated. Quick healing, minimal postoperative morbidity, high success rates and cosmetically acceptable results are the rule. Risks associated with the procedure include infection, chronic ulcer formation, pain, prolonged healing, irregular nail regrowth and recurrence. Patients should be aware of these risks before the matricectomy is performed.
嵌甲是一种足部疼痛病症，大多数乡村医生都能治疗。如果病情不太严重，可首先采用保守治疗。如果情况没有改善或正在恶化，则需要通过手术或化学甲床切除术去除甲板并破坏甲床。两种甲床切除技术都不算特别复杂。通常能实现快速愈合、术后发病率低、成功率高且外观效果可接受。该手术相关的风险包括感染、慢性溃疡形成、疼痛、愈合时间延长、指甲再生不规则和复发。在进行甲床切除术之前，患者应了解这些风险。
