ABSTRACT
Pincer nail deformity is a nail deformity characterized by a transverse overcurvature of the nail plate, which increases along the longitudinal axis. Many conservative and surgical treatment modalities have been reported. Conservative methods can be difficult to use in cases of severe deformity because of their high recurrence rate. Therefore, surgical techniques, including nail matricectomy or correction of the nail bed, have been preferred in these cases. Matricectomy is generally considered as the surgical treatment of pincer nail deformity because of low recurrence rate in the field of dermatology. However, poor cosmetic results (e.g. narrowing of nail plate) are frequently observed. We present here a case of pincer nail deformity in the left great toe in a 57-year-old man who was treated successfully with widening of the nail bed without matricectomy. This method is an effective surgical technique preserving the nail matrix for the correction of pincer nail deformity.
