Abstract

Foreign Bodies (F.B) are not uncommon in hand, as it is involved in day to day activities. Prompt removal during the initial examination is the norm, but sometimes foreign bodies (F.B) may be missed and they remain within the soft tissue for a long time either revealing itself at a later date as a sinus, swelling or an abscess. We present a case of retained FB in the dorsum of hand and the technique involved in retrieval of such a long standing FB.
