SUMMARY

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the recurrence rates of two surgical techniques-Winograd procedure and sleeve (gutter) method-in the treatment of ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis). A total of 312 nails will be randomized into two groups, with patients receiving either the Winograd procedure or sleeve method. Participants will be followed for 30 days post-intervention to assess recurrence and other clinical outcomes. The study seeks to determine the more effective treatment modality for reducing recurrence in a tertiary care setting.

Treatments
Experimental: Winograd Procedure
Surgical partial nail avulsion with excision of the lateral nail matrix and nail fold. A longitudinal incision is made along the ingrown nail edge, followed by wedge resection of the nail matrix and surrounding soft tissue. The wound is closed with sutures.
Experimental: Sleeve (Gutter) Method
Partial removal of the ingrown nail edge followed by insertion of a flexible tube beneath the nail margin to separate it from the surrounding soft tissue and guide proper nail growth. Granulation tissue, if present, is removed.
