O/C nails (all of them) causing heavy infections.
Pt keeps returning with same problem of reacurrent infection due to nails.
Now podiatrist is suggesting one nail off at a time taking months, my idea was possible ankle block and removal of all nails at once?
Logic says less LA needed for sensation loss so less chance of reaction however great infection risk.
Was just think out loud, what do others think about that?
