A penetrating injury is caused by sharp-pointed objects like wooden piece, iron bar, knives, glass pieces, blade, spears and gun shots etc. These can cause injuries to solid organs and hollow viscera and major vessels of the body. This condition can lead to peritonitis, shock and even death if major vessels were injured. We report a case of penetrating injury to right side of thigh by sharp piece of iron and foreign body lying in retro-peritoneum sparing major vessels.
