AB  - Infection  occurs  in  6%  to  11%  of  puncture  wounds,  with  Staphylococcus  aureus  predominating  (including  methicillin-resistant  S.  aureus—MRSA).  Pseudomonas  aeruginosa  is  the  most  frequent  etiologic  agent  in  post-puncture  wound  osteomyelitis,  particularly  when  penetration  occurs  through  the  sole  of  an  athletic  shoe.  Post-puncture  wound  infections  with  treatment  failure  suggest  the  presence  of  a  retained  foreign  body.
