Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Impalement injuries are uncommon, high-energy trauma resulting from foreign objects piercing the body, often occurring in accidents.
  • These injuries pose significant challenges in pre-hospital, emergency, and surgical care due to object type, location, and trajectory.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old male sustained a left leg impalement from a wooden object after a motorcycle accident.
  • The patient presented with partial deep peroneal nerve palsy and a proximal fibula fracture.

Findings:

  • Surgical removal of the foreign body and wound debridement were performed.
  • The patient experienced a favorable outcome with complete neurological recovery and return to normal activities.

Implications:

  • Impalement injuries require careful management, emphasizing operating room foreign body removal to prevent hemorrhage.
  • Key treatment components include neurovascular assessment, surgical intervention, debridement, and antibiotic prophylaxis for optimal patient outcomes.
