Recurrence rate, cosmetic results, pain during the treatment period, and patient satisfaction were the major outcome measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Patients were followed for at least 6 months (mean \u00b1 SD, 8.6 \u00b1 2.1 months; range, 6\u201312 months). Recurrence was seen in eight patients (19.5%). Mean time to recurrence was 6.2 months (range, 3\u201310 months). Thirty-one patients (75.6%) were satisfied with the treatment. Thirty-five patients (85.4%) rated the application and treatment period as painless, and the remaining six (14.6%) noted pain particularly during shoe wearing. Thirty-one patients (75.6%) rated the cosmetic results as \u201cexcellent,\u201d four (9.8%) as \u201cacceptable,\u201d and six (14.6%) as \u201cpoor.\u201d Satisfaction with the treatment, the cosmetic results, and pain were significantly worse in patients with recurrence (P = .0001 for all). All of the patients returned to their work immediately after application of the device. No complications occurred.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: The K-D device is a safe and effective treatment method for ingrown toenail. Although the recurrence rate is higher than for surgical treatment methods, the K-D device is a practical and painless method that provides immediate return to work and daily activities and excellent or acceptable cosmesis in most patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7547\/15-020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,4]],"date-time":"2016-08-04T17:27:27Z","timestamp":1470331647000},"page":"252-256","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Treatment
