Wood Foreign Body on POCUS

Wood FB found @ 2nd visit via POCUS after striking arm on fence. Edema around FB typical for embedded object. Guided local anesthetic & retrieval w/ forceps!  POCUS early and often!

Great images! Important to consider that the edema surrounding the FB seen here at 2nd visit may not be as prominent or not present at all at 1st visit if patient presents shortly after the injury
