Ultrasound has long been used as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in surgery. We have extended its use to hand surgery, where is has several applications. Non radio-opaque foreign body extraction is invariably a frustrating exercise of 'hide and seek'. Accurate pre-operative localization with ultrasound illustrating size, shape, depth, soft tissue and bony relationships can ensure rapid and complete removal. Several cases are presented to demonstrate the use of ultrasound for the detection of non radio-opaque foreign bodies. The technique used will be described. We feel pre-operative localization by ultrasound is a useful technique to assist with the removal of non radio-opaque foreign bodies.
