Abstract:
Pincer nail deformity is often undertreated although it is a cause of pain and disfigurement.This may be attributed to underdiagnosis and lack of awareness of the available treatmentoptions especially surgical options. Not many centres offer surgical correction of pincer naildeformity in Malaysia. We would like to describe a surgical method of correcting this deformity.
