ABSTRACT
Pincer nail is a toenail disorder in which the lateral edges of the nail slowly approach one another. The common surgical approach using total or partial nail avulsion has many disadvantages including pain and the fact that it is a time-consuming procedure with delayed healing time. Recently, the elastic wire insertion method was introduced into practice; however, the recurrence of pincer nails after removal of the device occurred frequently. Herein, we present two cases of pincer nails that were treated by elastic wire and thioglycolic acid, which helped retain the shape of the flattened nail plate.
