Foreign bodies over the years have become frankly
mundane. Pins, glass, and wood are so typical. Patients need to get more inventive.
No joking aside, foreign bodies
are a major problem. Even when the material is removed infection, scarring, chronic pain even development of a wart are only
a handful of the lasting side effects.
The amazing thing is how many people who get xrays and never realized they had
a pin in their foot.
