title: Phenol cauterization of nail matrix remnants.
abstract: Incomplete destruction of the nail matrix may result in partial recurrence of the nail. This occurs most frequently at the lateral ends of the proximal nail fold. A procedure that provides permanent, satisfactory results consists of careful dissection of the recurrent nail fragments followed by local phenol cauterization.
