Foreign bodies in the knee joint are uncommon, particularly those not related to surgical procedures. In this paper, we present a case of an intraosseous metallic foreign body situated in the medial femoral condyle for one year, causing pain, which was removed with complete resolution of the symptoms.

INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of foreign bodies in the upper aerodigestive tract is usually straightforward but sometimes it can be delayed or the location of esophageal and upper airway foreign bodies can be mistakenly interchanged. CASE REPORT We present two interesting cases that caused diagnostic challenges which could have led to serious complications if a greater delay in diagnosis had occ...

Purpose. To report a case of traumatic endophthalmitis due to Cellulosimicrobium cellulans. Design. Case report. Methods. Retrospective chart review. Results. To our knowledge, this is the first report of traumatic endophthalmitis due to C. cellulans, which did not respond to intravitreal antibiotics or repeat vitrectomy and ultimately led to the discovery of an occult intraocular foreign body....

Foreign object damage (FOD) occurs when hard, millimeter-sized objects such as gravel or sand are ingested into aircraft jet engines. Particles impacting turbine blades at velocities up to about 300 m=s produce small indentation craters which can become sites for fatigue crack initiation, severely limiting the lifetime of the blade. A framework for analyzing FOD and its e5ect on fatigue crackin...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a metal detector to diagnose swallowed radio-opaque metal foreign bodies (MFBs) in children, and whether they can detect non-radio-opaque MFBs. METHODS In a prospective study, 231 children, who presented to the accident and emergency department with a history of swallowing MFBs, were evaluated by the metal detector as well as radiography to confirm and locate the presenc...

This study aims to cover the clinical and social properties and the management of these kinds of injuries. ...

The ingestion of a foreign body is a common occurrence. Psychiatric patients and prisoners may swallow objects on purpose. Occasionally emergent exploratory laparotomy may be indicated if the diagnosis is uncertain, and emergent removal of the foreign body may be needed to prevent substantial risk of serious complications including perforation, fistula, or gastrointestinal bleeding.

A healthy 34-year-old man presented with Ochrobactrum intermedium endophthalmitis due to a metallic intraocular foreign body. After vitrectomy, lensectomy, removal of the metallic intraocular foreign body, intravitreal vancomycin and ceftazidime, and systemic ciprofloxacin, intraocular inflammation worsened. Repeat vitreous culture confirmed persistent endophthalmitis due to multidrug-resistant...

Due to FB dimensions or rectum and colon anatomy, sometimes it may represent a challenge. Materials and Methods Two cases of FB inserted in the rectum were treated in our institute....
