Stingray Injury Complicated by Vibrio alginolyticus Wound Infection and Posterior Tibial Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Returning Traveler.

Stingray injury is common in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. The majority of injuries are minor and can be managed with simple first aid at the shoreline; however, serious complications can occur. We report a case of Vibrio alginolyticus wound infection, retained foreign body, and posterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm after stingray envenomation in a returning traveler.

Introducing image-guided synovial aspiration and biopsy in assessing peri-prosthetic joint infection: an early single-centre experience.

Aim: Synovial sampling can be used in the diagnosis of peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI). The purpose of this study was to establish the role of simultaneous image-guided synovial aspiration and biopsy (SAB) during an initial 2-year experience at our institution.

Methods: Retrospective review of consecutive SABs performed during 2014-2016 at a tertiary referral musculoskeletal centre.
