Abstract

Toenail ingrowing is a common and serious disease which affects social life. This article focuses on a noninvasive technique of nail splinting using cyanoacrylate. The cyanoacrylate splinting technique is an effective, noninvasive, easy-to-learn, quick, and inexpensive method with good cosmetic outcomes which aims to minimize the problems of surgical treatments.
Level of Evidence: Level V, therapeutic study.
