Abstract
Foreign body injuries are not uncommon. Foreign body penetration may occur in almost any part of the body. A piercing or penetrating injury of the hip or pelvis by a steel bar is a rare condition compared with the extremities. Our study aims to highlight this interesting injury and its treatment. We report the case of a 19-year-old man who was working in a construction when he fall that resulted in the piercing of the hip with a long steel bar and our treatment strategy. The patients achieved good results without neurovascular injury. Our study highlights that intervention should be done at operating room in case we confront any neurovascular injury and its complications
