TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Stingray spine foreign body in the foot JO - Journal of foot surgery A1 - Moyles, B. G. A1 - Wilson, R. C. SP - 30 EP - 32 VL - 28 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
