Abstract
Open fractures can cause an "out-in" injury, wherein a foreign body can penetrate the skin causing fracture. There are few reports of allogenic bone getting embedded in soft tissue, but one causing fracture to the host bone has not been reported till date. We present a case, wherein a large cortical bony fragment from one individual penetrated the thigh of another person causing fracture of medial femoral condyle during a head-on collision involving two motorbikes.Entities:
