Abstract
This article illustrates several case reports of occult foreign bodies of the foot. The patients came for treatment from weeks to years after the inciting incident with chronic, sterile, draining wounds. The diagnosis of these foreign bodies can be quite difficult. Several radiographic and clinical clues are included, yet the single most valuable tool for the physician remains a high index of suspicion.Keywords
