In the Ingrowing Toenail Workshop, the practice will be done by using pig’s trotters and models at appropriately set up workshops. Models have been produced to allow for demonstration and practice of:
1) Removal of nail edge, trimming of nail spike often responsible for the problem
2) Apply phenol-ablation techniques.
3) Wedge resection
4) Post operative care and steps to prevent recurrence.
