Nails, Ingrown

Nageltrång

Svensk definition

Tillväxt hos nageln i sidled in i nagelfalsen. Eftersom nagelranden uppfattas som en främmande kropp, kan inflammation och granulering uppstå. Nageltrång orsakas oftast av dålig skopassning eller felaktig ansning av naglarna.

Engelsk definition

Excessive lateral nail growth into the nail fold. Because the lateral margin of the nail acts as a foreign body, inflammation and granulation may result. It is caused by improperly fitting shoes and by improper trimming of the nail.
