    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Foreign body penetration of the hand is a frequent presentation in emergency departments.
    • While seemingly straightforward, extraction can be complex due to anatomical structures.

    Observation:

    • A case of a hand penetrated by a large foreign body is presented.
    • The foreign body was lodged at the hand level, requiring careful management.

    Findings:

    • Surgical extraction of the foreign body was performed under anesthesia.
    • The procedure adhered to anatomical tension lines and carefully avoided the radial and median nerve branches.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of meticulous surgical technique in foreign body removal from the hand.
  • Preservation of neurovascular structures is paramount during hand surgery for foreign body extraction.
