ABSTRACT

No Brasil, alguns serviços associam a curetagem da matriz ungueal à fenolização, como tentativa de aumentar a eficácia do tratamento da unha encravada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar a taxa de cura entre a fenolização e a fenolização associada à curetagem da matriz. Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo e incluídos 271 cantos encravados. Recorreram 5 por cento após a realização da fenolização, e 7,7 por cento após a fenolização com curetagem da matriz. Não houve diferença estatística entre as duas técnicas, mostrando não ser necessária a associação com a curetagem da matriz. A fenolização mostrou-se eficiente mesmo para o grau III.


Some services in Brazil combine curettage of the nail matrix with phenolization in the treatment of ingrown nails, with the objective of further increasing efficacy. The objective of this research was to compare the cure rates between the phenolization technique and phenolization associated with nail matrix curettage. A retrospective study was done which included 271 cases. There was only a 5 percent recurrence rate for the phenolization procedure, compared with 7.7 percent for combined phenolization/nail matrix curettage. There was no statistically significant difference between the two techniques, which indicated that there is no need for curettage of the nail matrix. Phenolization worked even for level III disease.
