| Popis: | We report 8 cases of puncture wound of the foot associated with rubber foreign bodies in patients who were wearing rubber-soled shoes. The difficulty in making the correct diagnosis and the complications arising from these injuries are reviewed. The morbidity associated with these seemingly innocuous puncture wounds can be serious. Infective complications resolved only with removal of all imbedded rubber foreign bodies. A history of wearing rubber-soled shoes during the injury and a high index of suspicion may prevent complications. |
