PY - 2012 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 7e AB - Retained foreign bodies may lead to a severe inflammatory response (from wood, thorns, and spines), chronic local pain (from glass, metal, and plastic), local toxic reactions (from sea urchin spines and catfish spines), systemic toxicity (from lead), or infection. Most foreign bodies can be located during clinical examination. High risk wounds will need diagnostic imaging. Most foreign bodies should be removed in the emergency department but some may be left in place due to risk of removal.
