Abstract

An unusual case report of a retained stingray spine foreign body in the foot is presented. The case is interesting in that the foreign body, although visualized on radiograph, was difficult to locate intraoperatively. A review of techniques for localizing foreign bodies in the foot is presented as well as a discussion on stingray injuries in general. Because of the possibility of spine breakage in a stingray puncture wound, radiographs should be considered in injuries of this type.
