Abstract
Chlorhexidine-based skin preparations are frequently used in orthopaedic surgery. We report 2 recent cases of patients suffering significant allergic reactions to ChloraPrep<sup>TM</sup> complicating routine foot and ankle surgery. We advise vigilance for this possible issue and recommend thorough removal of all preparation at the end of the procedure.
