Abstract
Removal of foreign objects such as bits of broken glass or a piece of broken needle from the plantar surface of the foot can be challenging. It is common for the surgeon to end up with a larger than planned surgical incision in pursuit of the elusive foreign object. Despite a long surgical incision, the foreign object may not be found; frequently, the surgeon has to use an image intensifier during the procedure to help locate the foreign object. We describe a simple technique, which could be used for removal of radio-opaque foreign objects from the plantar surface of the foot.
