Abstract
Background:
Stabbings infrequently produce spinal injury. However, the use weapons other than blades can overcome this natural defence barrier.

We present a spinal injury produced by a screwdriver, its management and a review of the literature.
Conclusion:
This case highlights the need for clinical vigilance, including in those who appear stable and a senior multidisciplinary approach to each individual case.
