Abstract:
Norplant removal may be complicated if deep insertion causes difficulty in localization with palpation. Various methods have been used to locate these deeply seated implants. Soft tissue X-ray films (standard anteroposterior and lateral views) with a paper clip placed as a marker by the clinician provide a simple method of locating deep implants.
