Abstract
Since congenital curved nail of the fourth toe (CNFT) was reported by Iwasawa et al in 1991, there have been only 19 cases of CNFT in 6 reports, which were from Japan and Taiwan. We performed surgery on 4 patients with CNFT and report here good results. There has been no previous detailed report on surgical treatment for this condition. This report will describe the treatment, mainly the surgical procedure.
