“…Radiopaque material is usually easy to detect but it is the radiolucent bodies like wooden splinters which are difficult to detect and are usually missed (4). High frequency–high resolution ultrasonography and MRI are useful in detection of these non-radio opaque foreign bodies (26–30). In our setting, free-of-cost MRI and CT-scan facilities are not available and all of the missed foreign bodies were detected by plain images or ultrasound as shown in Table 4.…”

IntroductionPenetrating hand injuries are common and improper assessment can result in missed foreign bodies. These bodies can result in a wide range of complications.AimThe aim of our study was to study the profile of patients reporting with missed foreign bodies in the hand.Materials and methodsAll the cases treated in the Department of Surgery, Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (medical college), Kashmir, for missed foreign bodies in hands from June 2003 to May 2009 were studied retrospectively.ResultsA total of 61 cases with missed foreign bodies of different nature were treated over the period of six years. Wooden splinters were the most common foreign bodies missed. Preoperative localization was accomplished with plain radiographs and ultrasonograms. Most of the cases were treated on outpatient basis.ConclusionsForeign bodies should be suspected and ruled out in all cases of penetrating injuries of hands. Missed foreign bodies need to be removed after proper localization by imaging.

“…It is well documented that plain radiographs are successful in detecting radiopaque foreign bodies in the soft tissue (Flom and Ellis, 1992). However, radiolucent foreign bodies in the soft tissue could not be detected in all cases (Kjhns et al, 1979;Bodne et al, 1988;Graham, 2002;Venter et al, 2005). Usually the preferred visualizing technique is conventional plain radiography for detecting foreign bodies.…”

| The current study was carried out to identify the ability of both radiography and ultrasonography in identifying the presence of some foreign bodies in a Cadaveric calf thigh specimen. Five different foreign bodies (metal, stone, glass, plastic and wood) were inserted separately in a freshly thawed cadaveric calf thigh muscle. Two different imaging modalities were applied, firstly, conventional plain radiography and secondly, ultrasonography. In general, metals, stones and glass were radiopaque. On the other hand, plastics and wooden objects could not be detected by conventional plain radiography. Meanwhile by ultrasound examination, all foreign bodies appeared as hyperechoic structure with distal artifacts. Reverberation artifacts (comet tail) appeared clearly with metal and glass materials. While, distal acoustic shadowing was obvious in stones, plastics and wooden objects. Ultrasound in this study proved to be brilliant for detection of radiolucent foreign bodies as plastic and wood. For radiopaque foreign bodies, ultrasound can provide more accurate localization and also the artifact distal to foreign bodies played an important role in detecting the nature and surface properties of these foreign bodies.

ÖzetÇocukluk çağında travmalara sık olarak rastlanmakla birlikte, travma GirişÇocuklarda cerrahi girişim gerektirecek yabancı cisimler, solunum yollarından gastrointestinal sisteme, ciltaltı dokudan kemiğe kadar oldukça geniş bir spektrum oluşturmaktadır (5) . Olgumuz travma sonrası yumuşak dokuda rezidü yabancı cisme bağlı atipik yerleşimli apse ve yürüyememe yakınmalarıyla baş-vurması ve nonopak yabancı cisim olmasına bağlı, tanı koymada yaşanan sıkıntılar nedeniyle literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur. olgu SunumuOn yaşındaki kız hasta, bir ay önce merdivenden düşme sonrası başlayan topallama öyküsü ile hastanemize başvurdu. Skolyozu olan ve sağ uyluğunu fleksiyonda tutan hastanın muayenesinde; sağ inguinal bölge inferiorunda, 2 cm'lik sert, hassas ve hiperemik bir kitle saptandı. Hastanın pelvis grafisinde; açıklığı sola bakan skolyoz ve sağ uylukta fleksiyon görünümü dışında bir patolojiye rastlanmadı (Resim 1). Yüzeyel doku ultrasonografisi yapılan hastanın lezyon bölgesinde, ciltaltından kas planlarına, femoral damarların posterolateraline uzanım gösteren, 3,5 cm uzunluğunda, posterior akustik gölge oluşturan tubuler-fusiform alan saptandı.
