>Hi, Bob'
I see quite a few of these in my office, sadly your patient is probably
right, as the spines are very brittle. Be very carefull with them and very
thorough as they can be numerous and break as you try to extract them
sepsis is common if you do not get them all. LA may be useful.
All the best.
