Can The Exact Measurements Of The Foreign Body In My Right Thigh Be Estimated For Surgical Removal?
Question: You clearly see the foreign body, I need to remove this asap, the original radiologist report is negative but i guess the radiologist misread or misinterpret the imaging. I remember the doctor jabbed me in my right thigh with a syringe so I really need the exact measurements of this forigen body.
*Rule out Foreign Body Right Thigh, in muscle tissues
The size of Foreign Body is 7mm by 1mm estimated, smaller than a grain of rice.
Please provide detailed measurements of superficial FB so surgeons can remove. Patient thigh in pain. Thanks”
Foreign body right thigh - subcutaneous 7 mm x 1 mm foreign body
Impression - approximate size 7 mm x 1 mm subcutaneous bio glass foreign body close to or inside muscles tissues in right thigh
Ill give you a good tip if you can seriously help me?

Brief Answer:
I suggest surgical exploration
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems like there is a foreign body in the thigh and more important than the size would be the depth from the skin so that surgeon can find the object. If this is microchip or metal / glass structure it should be easily removed even under local anesthesia. The best way would be to find plastic surgeon who can work under microscope if necessary.
Wish you good health.
Regards
