Conducted electrical weapons, commonly known by their proprietary eponym, TASER, are frequently used by law enforcement. A review of the literature yielded descriptions of taser barb removal from soft tissue and surgical intervention for barbs lodged in sensitive areas such as the eye and head, but not from other osseous sites.
We report the case of a 30-year-old male transferred from another hospital with a taser dart embedded in his clavicle. Prior attempts at bedside removal had been unsuccessful. We describe bedside removal of the taser barb from bone using local anesthesia and simple fulcrum technique.
We describe a novel fulcrum technique for removal of a taser dart embedded in bone. This is a reasonable technique to attempt in patients with involvement of superficial osseous structures to avoid operative intervention.
传导性电子武器,通常以其专利名称“泰瑟枪”为人所知,被执法部门频繁使用。文献综述中提到了从软组织中取出泰瑟枪倒刺以及针对刺入眼睛和头部等敏感区域的倒刺进行手术干预的描述,但未提及从其他骨质部位取出的情况。
我们报告一例30岁男性患者,从另一家医院转来,其锁骨内嵌有一枚泰瑟枪镖。此前在床边尝试取出未成功。我们描述了使用局部麻醉和简单支点技术在床边从骨头上取出泰瑟枪倒刺的过程。
我们描述了一种用于取出嵌入骨内的泰瑟枪镖的新型支点技术。对于涉及浅表骨质结构的患者,这是一种可尝试的合理技术,以避免手术干预。
