Abstract
The phenol chemical matrixectomy technique for onychocryptosis is a very effective and minimally time-consuming procedure. The incidence of postoperative complications is limited, with the most frequent being slight return of spiculization of the nail border. When this occurs, one or two reapplications of 89% phenol for 45 seconds usually suffices. This technique is suitable for any age group other than infants, in whom the phenol could possibly damage the underlying bony surface. The procedure is totally ambulatory, and patients are able to return to normal shoe gear and activity within two to three days after it is performed.
