Ingrown Toenail or Vascular Occlusion PIJ

Description: Al Kline DPM Podiatry Internet Journal 1 (1): 11 History A 72 year old male presented in the hospital setting this week with a chief complaint of left “ingrown toenail”. He had a recent history of pain to the hallux and went to see his primary physician. He stated that one week prior, he began having pain to the hallux with an increase in “redness” to the toe. He was convinced he had an ingrown toenail, so he attempted to remove a portion of the nail without significant relief of symptoms.
