Abstrakt: Objectives: To find if there is any association between the abnormal interphalangeal (IPA) and/or hallux valgus angles (HVA) and onychocryptosis.
Materials and Methods: Eighty consecutive patients with proven ingrowing toenail of all grades had their interphalangeal and hallux valgus angles of the great toe been measured on a stress view standing radiograph, and compared with a control group of normal people.
Results: The mean age (SD) of our patients was 20 (6.4) years. Males are affected more than females. Lateral edge ingrowing was found in 85% of patients. The percentage of abnormal HVA in the diseased toes (60%), was significantly higher than that in contralateral toes (30%) (p<0.0005) and in normal controls (12%) (p<0.0005). Similarly, the percentage of abnormal IPA in the diseased toes (85%) was significantly higher than that in the contralateral toes (50%) (p<0.0005) and in normal controls (25%) (p<0.0005).
Conclusions: Abnormal interphalangeal and hallux valgus angles or lateral deviation of the distal phalanx significantly associated with onychcryptosis.
