Key Points

To compare clinical outcomes, complications, and recovery times across banding, nail brace, and Winograd techniques in patients with Heifetz stage 2 ingrown toenails.
Retrospective comparative analysis of N=91 patients diagnosed with Heifetz stage 2 ingrown toenails treated with banding, nail brace, or the Winograd procedure.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were measured on the third postoperative day alongside recurrence rates, complication rates, and return-to-work duration.
Patients treated with the nail brace experienced a significantly shorter return-to-work duration (mean 10.2 ± 9.5 days) compared to those undergoing the Winograd procedure (mean 19.0 ± 6.4 days).
