Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon: An Unexpected Location For A Foreign Body

Abstract

Foreign bodies may cause chronic mild pain during their presence. Since then, it may not be the only symptom, but supplementary signs may be contributed with it such as ambulatuary pain. Here, a case comprised of a foreign body with unknown ethiology is presented. The foreign body was found within the tendon of the great toe. To achieve the proper diagnosis, a flouroscope was used intraoperatively.
