N2  - Although typically placid, accidental contact with stingrays has caused numerous injuries to people along the surf zones of the United States, leading to injuries, commonly in the extremities, from barb impalement.1 Due to the potential risks of a retained barb, imaging and proper removal are vital to patient care.2 We present a case of a patient suffering from barb injury, highlighting the complicated healing process to help illustrate the importance of foreign body removal and infectious considerations.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
