Abstract
Multiple levonorgestrel implants were identified and removed from belo w the biceps fascia using radiography to assist in localization, axill ary block for anesthesia, careful dissection, and palpation of the imp lants within the deep muscle belly. This difficult implant removal dem onstrates the importance of both a clinician experienced in levonorges trel implant removal and a general surgeon experienced in arm surgery when performing such procedures.
