Abstract
Life-threatening intraoperative complications during minor podiatric surgery are rare. This paper presents a case of a "silent stroke," which occurred during total matrixectomies of hallux nails. The podiatric physician must be aware of the risk factors involved in each case and must be prepared to treat any complications that may arise.
