[Competent treatment also in "surgical peanuts"!]

Abstract
in English, German

Ankle sprains, burns, cuts and lacerated wounds, ingrowing toenail - topics, that are common in the general practitioner's office. Just peanuts? If they are correctly treated, yes, maybe. But if poorly diagnosed and badly treated they turn out to be troublesome for the patient and the doctor - a real "pain in the neck"! Therefore competent treatment is mandatory, also for these "peanuts"!

Es sind alltägliche Probleme in der Praxis: Knöchelverstauchung (distorsio pedis), kleine Verbrennungen, Rissquetschwunden und eingewachsene Zehennägel. Ihre Behandlung ist nicht weltbewegend, bedeutet aber für den Patienten bei nicht korrektem Vorgehen Mühseligkeit und langwierigen Verlauf – eine adäquate, einfache Behandlung hingegen befriedigt Patient und Arzt.
