Cuerpo Extraño ( Grapa ) en Tobillo
Paciente masculino de 35 años de edad, practicante de diversos deportes. Viene a revisión porque hace unos dos meses atrás sufrió un esquince de tobillo izquierdo motivo por el cual se le practico una radiografía detectándose una grapa en esa localización. Lo curioso del caso es que el paciente no recuerda en absoluto cuando pudo sufrir el accidente que le introdujo la grapa en tal localización. Viene a examen sonografico porque ha decidido someterse al retiro de ese material extraño de su cuerpo. El examen sonografico muestra que en localización posterior al maléolo interno izquierdo se visualiza imagen hiper-ecogenica lineal, que se corresponde con la grapa, mide aprox 9,16 mm que es compatible con el eje mayor de una grapa metálica con las puntas dobladas ( ver las dos ultimas fotos ). Entre la piel y el material metálico de la grapa se visualiza presencia de contenido liquido de un volumen aprox de 1,26 cm3, posiblemente por efecto del fenómeno de rechazo del cuerpo al material extraño. El paciente no tiene síntomas de ningún tipo ( no dolores o molestias al ejercitarse ).

Between the skin and the metallic material of the staple presence of liquid content of approximately 1.26 cm3 volume is displayed, possibly due to the phenomenon of rejection of the foreign material body.
