Abstract
Partial toenail ablation on both sides of the great toenail, unfolding the severely curved toenail, and application of a simple device for maintaining the unfolded state of the incurved toenail is described to treat severely incurved toenails (pincer nails). This technique alleviated symptoms and improved the shape of severely curved toenails of the greater toe.
