Onychogryphosis is a disorder of nail plate growth, which most commonly involves the toenails. It is characterizedby opaque, yellow-brown thickening of the nail plate with associated marked convexity and elongation. Treatmentfor onychogryphosis can be conservative or operative depending on the cause and medical status of the patient. A30-year-old male presented with onychogryphosis of the right and left toenails. Since the patient had shownrecurrence after simple nail avulsion several years ago, the inverted T incision method and fusiform excision of thehypertrophic hyponychium were performed. No recurrence was observed during the 3-year follow-up period. Ourresults showed that nail avulsion combined with traction osteophyte removal is a suitable surgical method fortreating onychogryphosis.
