Abstract
Four cases of impalement injury of the lower extremities were reported in this study. There have been only a few reports regarding impalement of the lower extremities. Impalement injuries have been usually associated with neuro-vascular complications because of both blunt and penetrating trauma. Extensive exposure and careful remove of the impaling object, and elaborate irrigation and debridement are required for the initial management.
