Penetrating injuries to the hand by a foreign body are less common in childhood. If bodies are not found and removed immediately after the injury, they can lead to lengthy and complicated treatment. The authors present a case of penetrating wrist injury with wood splinter in a six-year-old boy which was in recurrence of inflammation diagnosed and surgically removed after five years after the original accident.
Keywords: wooden foreign body, penetrating injury, child.
