A foreign body retained in soft tissue may give rise to infection and dysfunction, which may pose a potential threat to patient health. Our study is to compare the efficacy and characteristics of metallic foreign body (MFB) extraction from soft tissue by incision surgery and x-ray-guided forceps after body surface projection positioning.This study enrolled 775 patients who underwent percutaneous MFB extraction between January 2011 and December 2016. A total of 257 cases underwent extraction by incision surgery and 518 cases underwent x-ray-guided forceps extraction after body surface projection positioning.All patients were diagnosed by x-ray and the diagnostic accuracy rate was 100%. In the incision surgery group, MFB extraction was successful in 193 of 257 cases. All cases in the forceps extraction group were successful, and the success rate was significantly higher than that of the incision surgery group (100% vs.75.1%, P < .01). Sixty-four patients in the incision surgery group who failed treatment were subsequently treated with x-ray-guided forceps extraction and all MFBs were extracted. The symptoms in all patients were relieved, wound healing was good, and there were no major bleeding, incision infection, or other complications.Compared with incision surgery, x-ray-guided foreign body forceps extraction after body surface projection positioning is a less invasive, safer, and more effective treatment for MFB extraction.

Foreign bodies fully embedded in soft tissues present a unique challenge to surgeons attempting excision. Small fragments can be nonpalpable, and many prove difficult to visualize intra-operatively by means of classic radiologic techniques. A 35-year-old active duty soldier presented requesting excision of ballistic fragment embedded in his chest wall that had previously failed a previous attempt at removal. The metallic foreign body was successfully localized intra-operatively using a handheld magnetometer probe and removed without complication. This case demonstrates the utility and cost-effectiveness of the handheld magnetometry for intra-operative localization of metallic foreign bodies. Metallic foreign bodies may be localized intra-operatively using inexpensive and reusable equipment that does not require radiation or bulky radiographic imaging equipment.

Due to its superficial positioning, the muscle is more frequently exposed to trauma than bone or joint elements. Muscle injuries can occur either as a result of external forces, such as a traumatic agent, or internal forces that affect muscle function. This paper presents a patient diagnosed with a puncture wound and retention of a for-eign body in the middle third of the posterior aspect of the left forearm, with its extraction following three surgical interventions. This type of injury presents an increased risk of af-fecting daily life activities. The patient was functionally assessed post-operatively upon inclusion in the rehabili-tation program, during the program to observe progress, and at the end of kinetic treat-ment. The rehabilitation plan must be preceded by an adequate assessment, followed by setting goals according to the patient's needs and test results. Consequently, the patient rigorously followed the initial kinetic exercise plan established by the physiotherapist, leading to an improvement in muscle strength, joint mobility, and motor control. This re-sulted in an increase in the quality of life and social-professional reintegration. Keywords: Osteoarthritis, knee, ultrasonography, cartilage, pain.
