Abstract

The Zadik labiomatrixectomy is a permanent solution for chronic nail pathology in the medically compromised patient. A 63-year-old male builder was referred for the surgical correction of his chronically symptomatic onychauxic hallucal toenail that had been resistant to conservative care. A Zadik labiomatrixectomy procedure was performed under local anaesthetic to physically remove the nail germinal matrix in toto. The Zadik labiomatrixectomy provides a safe and effective solution to chronic nail pathology in the medically compromised patient.
