One hundred and three patients, on whom 107 procedures for ingrowing toenails were performed, were randomly allocated into one of two treatment groups: segmental or angular phenolization and wedge excision. There were 53 wedge excisions and 54 segmental phenolizations. Post-treatment discomfort was assessed on a linear analogue scale of 10 cm. There was no difference between the two groups one week after treatment. Over a mean follow-up period of 14 months a total of 20 nail spikes occurred, 4 in the phenolized group and 16 in the wedge excision group, this being a significant difference at the one per cent level.
103例患者接受了107次嵌甲治疗手术，被随机分为两个治疗组之一：节段性或角状酚化及楔形切除术。其中楔形切除术53例，节段性酚化术54例。采用10厘米线性模拟量表评估治疗后的不适程度。治疗后一周两组之间无差异。在平均14个月的随访期内，共出现20例甲刺，酚化组4例，楔形切除组16例，这在1%的水平上有显著差异。
