S2E46 - Clinical Reasoning for Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!
For Stage II and III cases, partial nail avulsion combined with chemical (phenol) matricectomy is the gold standard, backed by NHMRC Level 1 evidence for superior prevention of recurrence. This episode breaks down the essential surgical protocol: from performing a digital ring block to the critical alcohol-chlorhexidine flush used to neutralise phenol. We cover vital OSCE safety checks, including screening for diminished vascular supply and managing overt infections before surgery. Learn how to counsel patients on correct nail trimming to deliver a high-scoring, evidence-based management plan!

Pro Tip: In your OSCE, always screen for diminished vascular supply in the digit before suggesting surgery—this is a critical safety check. Furthermore, explicitly advise the patient to cut their nails straight across rather than in a curve; demonstrating this preventative education shows the examiner you are focused on long-term patient outcomes and safety!
🎧 Episodes in Season 1 (150 clinical scenarios) have been indexed by topic, patient group, discipline, setting, and more to support targeted learning. Use the filters to locate discussions relevant to your study or clinical training.
