A member asked:
During an injection in my left buttock the 25 gauge needle broke off inside. an x-ray and two ultrasounds cannot locate it. what's the next step?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard: to understand that an XR and ultrasound will not show the broken needle. Commonly a local exploration of the point of entrance will show and help remove the needle
