Abstract

Penetrating injuries are dangerous and deserve emergency treatment due to the risk of injuring vital structures. We present an unusual case of a young male patient who sustained piercing injury of thigh with a tree branch due to fall from the tree. Careful planning, proper evaluation of such patient is required before extracting such foreign bodies.
