Abstract
Methods and results are described for a series of laser matricectomy cases in the toes, 23 partial matricectomies and 58 total matricectomies. A high incidence of nail recurrence was experienced, 48% for partial matricectomy and 50% for total matricectomy. After review of results, the laser method seemed to be less satisfactory than traditional surgical methods.Keywords
