What is the probability that offspring of two heterogeneous parents will be homologous recessive?
Matrixectomy: If your doctor believes the destruction of the nail matrix is necessary after removing the toenail, he or she will perform a partial or full matrixectomy (or matricectomy), which is permanent toenail removal by applying a chemical agent (most commonly phenol or sodium hydroxide) to the matrix.
The surgical approach is a partial nail avulsion of the medial and lateral nail plate known as a partial wedge resection. If the ingrown toenail recurs despite this treatment, destruction of the sides of the nail with chemicals or excision is done, this is known as a Matrixcestomy.
