I’m not sure there even is a procedure for this, none seem to grasp what is going on with this patient.

He came in with a wire piercing his hand. The following is the pertinent part of the note:

The R hand has a wire piercing through the palm, just ulnar to the 3rd metacarpal. No bleeding, no other wounds
*
Imaging: R hand XR shows no fx, wire passing in 3-4 metacarpal interspace
*
Assessment:
1. R hand retained foreign body
*
After the wire was prepped, it was pulled out without difficulty using a hemostat. Pt tolerated well. Wounds washed. Pt subsequently showed FROM all digits with FDS and FDP intact to all fingers.

I’m thinking this is just part of the NP Office Visit … But another set of eyes would be appreciated. I know this should be simple …

Thank you.
