Medical complications after elective bunionectomy procedures are rarely encountered. This paper presents a case report of a healthy 51-year-old male patient who experienced transient bradycardia and asystole postoperatively after bilateral bunionectomies. The foot surgeon must be prepared for, be able to recognize, and then treat these untoward medical events.
