The hypothesis will be that the larger the size of the osteophyte, the greater the nail curvature.Nail curvature and osteophyte height will be measured in patients with clamp nails. Nail-phalange distance will also be measured with radiography and ultrasonography.The investigators to find a positive correlation between nail curvature and osteophyte height. Furthermore, a strong agreement is expected between both imaging techniques to measure nail-phalange distance.Ultrasonography could constitute a safe and effective alternative to radiology for detecting dorsal osteophytes in claw nails, especially in mild cases, follow-ups or young patients., conditionsModule conditions: Exostosis, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: CASE_CONTROL, timePerspective: PROSPECTIVE, enrollmentInfo count: 150, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Exostectomy, interventions name: Cut fingernail, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Nail-phalange distance, secondaryOutcomes measure: Nail Curvature Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: Thickness of the nail plate, secondaryOutcomes measure: Dorsal Osteophyte Height, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 99 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Enieto podologos, status: RECRUITING, city: Logroño, state: La Rioja, zip: 26003, country: Spain, contacts name: Eduardo Nieto-Garcia, Dr, role: CONTACT, phone: 941 25 55 66, email: clinica@enietopodologos.com, contacts name: eduardo Nieto-Garcia, Dr, role: CONTACT, phone: 941 25 55 66, email: eduardo.nieto@ucv.es, contacts name: Eduardo Nieto-Garcia, Dr, role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 42.46667, lon: -2.45, locations facility: Centro podológico Valencia, status: RECRUITING, city: Valencia, state: València, zip: 46001, country: Spain, contacts name: Martín Redón, role: CONTACT, phone: 96 352 63 41, email: info@podologomartinredon.com, contacts name: Emma Guillem-escámez, role: CONTACT, phone: 96 352 63 41, email: em_chec@mail.ucv.es, contacts name: emma Guillem-Escamez, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 39.46975, lon: -0.37739, locations facility: Clinicas UCV, status: RECRUITING, city: Valencia, state: València, zip: 46001, country: Spain, contacts name: Pablo Vera-Ivars, Dr., role: CONTACT, phone: 963 92 06 24, email: clinicas.ucv@ucv.es, contacts name: Cristina Mico-Salcedo, role: CONTACT, phone: 963 92 06 24, email: clinicas.ucv@ucv.es, contacts name: Javier Ferrer-Torregrosa, Dr, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, contacts name: Juan Vicente-Mampel, Dr., role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 39.46975, lon: -0.37739, locations facility: Clinica Pasito a pasito, status: RECRUITING, city: Valencia, zip: 46008, country: Spain, contacts name: Javier Ferrer-Torregrosa, Dr, role: CONTACT, phone: 963855535, email: clinicaspasitoapasito@gmail.com, contacts name: Javier Ferrer-Torregrosa, Dr, role: CONTACT, phone: 644733882, email: javier.ferrer@ucv.es, contacts name: JAVIER Ferrer- TORREGROSA, Dr, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 39.46975, lon: -0.37739, hasResults: False
