Abstract
This case report presents a successful retrieval of a metallic foreign body located in the soft tissue of the patient's posterior thigh using a combination of ultrasound and radiography localization in an emergency setting. The combined use of ultrasound and radiography localization facilitated precise localization, reduced surgical trauma, decreased radiation exposure, and contributed to the rapid recovery of the patient.
期刊介绍:
The Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is an international scientific medical journal covering the entire spectrum of clinical medicine and related areas such as ethics in medicine, public health and the history of medicine. In addition to original articles, the Journal features editorials and leading articles on newly emerging topics, review articles, case reports and a broad range of special articles. Experimental material will be considered for publication if it is directly relevant to clinical medicine. The number of international contributions has been steadily increasing. Consequently, the international reputation of the journal has grown in the past several years. Founded in 1888, the Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is certainly one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world and takes pride in having been the first publisher of landmarks in medicine.
