Abstract :
We treated an impalement injury of the thorax resulting from a suicide attempt in the form of a road traffic accident. The patient survived and was discharged 5 weeks after his injury. The surgical management of thoracic impalement injuries and the rationale behind a multidisciplinary approach are discussed.
