Onychocryptosis (ingrown toenail) is a condition commonly seen in Primary Care clinics. It is uncomfortable and restrictive for patients and has a high incidence in males between second and third decades of life. It is of unknown origin, with a number of predisposing triggering factors being involved. Treatment depends on the stage of the ingrown nail and the procedures may range from conservative to minor surgery that can be performed by the Primary Care physician in the health centre. We report the case of a 25-year onychocryptosis that did not respond to conservative management, and was extracted with partial matricectomy of the nail.
嵌甲症是基层医疗诊所中常见的病症。它给患者带来不适并限制其行动，在20至30岁的男性中发病率较高。其病因不明，涉及多种诱发因素。治疗取决于嵌甲的阶段，治疗方法从保守治疗到小型手术不等，基层医疗医生可在健康中心进行这些操作。我们报告了一例25岁的嵌甲症患者，该患者对保守治疗无反应，最终通过部分甲母质切除术拔除了病甲。
