[Treatment of ingrown toenails].

Surgery of ingrowing toe nails are one of the most frequent operations in ambulatory practice. It is well known that a minor operation which relieves the patient of his complaints is appreciated more than the most complicated operation. Based on the article of Dr. Krticka we wish to present our own modification of an operation called Klapp's operation. We found that the results when using a modified vertical U stitch are better than when the classical technique is applied.
