Summary
An intractable plantar keratoma (IPK) is a conical thickening of the epidermis' stratum
corneum and a common cause of foot pain which can have a significant, detrimental impact on
the mobility, quality of life and independence of individuals. Conservative treatments are
currently offered to patients with IPK, but they are unsatisfactory since they do not offer a
sufficient or permanent reduction of symptoms. The purpose of this study was the evaluation
of the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of innovative treatments for intractable plantar
keratoma (IPK)
