The result of stepping on a manicuring tool!

The tool got somehow lodged in a shag rug, keeping it upright, and as the patient jumped off the couch it got impaled deep in her foot. It was later removed at the hospital under local anesthesia. A puncture wound must be cleaned properly and monitored throughout the healing process to avoid complications. The surgeon will make sure the wound is properly cleaned and no foreign body remains. He or she may numb the area, thoroughly clean inside and outside the wound, and monitor your progress. In some cases, x-rays may be ordered to determine whether something remains in the wound or if bone damage has occurred. Antibiotics may be prescribed if necessary along with tetanus shot.
