Abstract

Summary: Acupuncture, one of the most ancient forms of Chinese medicine, is widely used to treat many chronic ailments, but the extant literature reveals uncertainty regarding its efficacy and adverse complications. A specific adverse complication reported multiple times is the finding of broken needles incidentally or after symptomatic presentation. We report a case of an incidental finding of an acupuncture needle after a carpal tunnel release.
