Commonly metallic sharp objects, bullets, sharpnels, glass particles, hard wooden pieces are the causes of penetrating injury to bones. Radio-opaque objects are easy to detect and thus retrieval is relatively simpler than the radiolucent objects. Non-biological foreign bodies do not incite any reaction in the host bone whereas biological foreign bodies of either plant or animal origin cause hypersensitivity reaction. Osteitis along with excessive formation of new bones may be presented as a part of host reaction to the foreign body. We are presenting here an interesting case of a fisherman boy who sustained penetrating injury to radius by fish bone resulting in osteitis and a chronic non-healing sinus with watery discharge.展开更多

Because of its deep anatomic location, they hardly sustain any direct traumatic force. Most of the time, they get fractured by indirect force by the muscles and ligaments attached to them. They are usually associated with fracture of the acromion process of Scapula, acromio-clavicular dislocation and proximal humerus fracture or dislocation of the shoulder joint. They may be missed because more attention is drawn by the obvious injuries. We report two cases of coracoid process fracture, one is associated with fracture dislocation of the shoulder and the other with acromion process fracture.展开更多
