2021, JPRAS OpenCitation Excerpt :The recruited patients underwent a thorough assessment as per the hospital guidelines by two plastic surgery consultants, with two separate sessions to mitigate the inter-observer influence. The process included attaining a full history regarding the date, duration, and the mechanism of injury along with a general physical examination and a local wound examination of clinical signs that herald FB retention like pain, swelling, erythema, mass on palpation, abnormal sensation and neurovascular deficits.2,10,18 When the two plastic surgery consultants agreed on the presence of the FB, an X-ray image and/or an Ultra-Sound (US) visualization have been done to the wound, to support the clinical evidence of the FB presence and also, to help in the pre-intervention of the FB localization.
