Onychocryptosis (ingrown toenail) is a condition commonly seen in Primary Care clinics. It is uncomfortable and restrictive for patients and has a high incidence in males between second and third decades of life. It is of unknown origin, with a number of predisposing triggering factors being involved. Treatment depends on the stage of the ingrown nail and the procedures may range from conservative to minor surgery that can be performed by the Primary Care physician in the health centre. We report the case of a 25-year onychocryptosis that did not respond to conservative management, and was extracted with partial matricectomy of the nail.

La onicocriptosis (uña encarnada) es una enfermedad ungueal de gran demanda en el servicio de atención primaria, molesta y limitante para los pacientes, con gran incidencia en el sexo masculino y en edades comprendidas entre la segunda y tercera décadas de la vida, de etiología indeterminada en la que intervienen una serie de factores tanto desencadenantes como predisponentes. El tratamiento depende del estadio en que se encuentre la uña encarnada e incluye desde procedimientos conservadores hasta intervenciones de cirugía menor que pueden ser realizadas por el médico de atención primaria en el centro de salud. Presentamos el caso clínico de un hombre de 25 años con onicocriptosis que no respondió a un manejo conservador y se realizó una extracción del extremo ungueal con matricectomía parcial (AU)
