However, alternative treatments using nail braces have been reported to show good efficacy. The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of a new nail brace for the treatment of ingrown toenails.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Patients and methods<\/jats:title>We conducted a retrospective study on patients with ingrown toenails treated at Wan Fang Hospital between June 1, 2015 and May 30, 2016. Ingrown toenails were classified into acute inflamed\/infected (AI) and chronic dystrophic (CD) types. Using physician global assessment scores, the efficacy of nail braces for the two types of ingrown toenails was compared 1, 2, 3, and 6 months after treatment initiation and during the final visit.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Twenty\u2010one patients (42 sites) had CD\u2010type ingrown toenails; 25 patients (36 sites) had ingrown toenails of the AI type. Of the affected sites, 81\u00a0%, 94\u00a0%, and 100\u00a0% showed an excellent or fair outcome at 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively. Recurrence rates were 10.3\u00a0%; complication rates, 7.7\u00a0%. While, in the first three months, AI\u2010type ingrown toenails tended to achieve excellent results more rapidly than CD\u2010type nails, outcomes were similar at six months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Nail braces are an effective therapeutic option, particularly for CD\u2010type ingrown toenails.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.13462","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,3]],"date-time":"2018-03-03T16:02:49Z","timestamp":1520092969000},"page":"417-423","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Efficacy of a new nail brace for the treatment of ingrown toenails"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Che\u2010Wei","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics Cathy General Hospital Taipei City Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu\u2010Chen","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Wan Fang Hospital Taipei Medical University Taipei City Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Dermatology School of Medicine College of Medicine Taipei Medical University Taipei City Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/783924"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"256","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.12458","article-title":"Combined surgical treatment of a pincer nail with chemical matricectomy, median nail incision, and splinting","volume":"13","author":"Markeeva E","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Dtsch Dermatol Ges"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","first-page":"18560","article-title":"Segmental phenolization for the treatment of ingrown toenails: technique report, follow up of 146 patients, and review of the literature","volume":"19","author":"Zaraa IDI","year":"2013","journal-title":"Dermatol Online J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"822","article-title":"Retrospective evaluation of conservative treatment for 140 ingrown toenails with a novel taping procedure","volume":"95","author":"Watabe A","year":"2015","journal-title":"Acta dermato\u2010venereologica"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/DSS.0000000000000294"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1610-0387.2008.07002.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jfas.2015.04.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7547\/0950542"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","first-page":"213","article-title":"Operative management of ingrown toenail","volume":"42","author":"Heifetz CF","year":"1945","journal-title":"Mo Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1346-8138.12332"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7547\/15-020"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3113\/FAI.2009.1083"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/GOX.0000000000000719"}],"container-title":["JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fddg.13462","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/ddg.13462","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,24]],"date-time":"2023-09-24T17:07:39Z","timestamp":1695575259000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/ddg.13462"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,3]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/ddg.13462"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/ddg.13462","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1610-0379","1610-0387"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1610-0379","type":"print"},{"value":"1610-0387","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,3]]}}}
