- last year
A surgeon has revealed the unique things he's removed from people's hands - including sea urchin spines, fishhooks and bullets.
Nick Pappas, 43, has been a practising orthopaedic surgeon for 10 years and spends his time removing foreign objects, inserting metal plates and re-attaching fingers. The hand specialist shared a list of recent things he's removed from hands. First up on the list is screws - with Nick saying he often has to establish the brand of the screw to allow him to use the correct screwdriver to remove it. He has also removed sea urchin spines after a patient fell onto one of the creatures - leaving spines embedded as far as the bone. Nick also removes other things such as gangrene-infected fingers, BB gun pellets and electrical wire.
