Abstract

Penetrating or piercing injuries are not uncommon in paediatric age with considerable disability if neglected or manged in a suboptimal way. Both metallic or non metallic objects have been associated with various types of penetrating injuries. Many a times certain broken piece of the object is retained and later becomes painful and equally difficult to remove. Very minute pieces or splinters of metallic objects can be successfuly retrived with the help of magnet to assist in the process. We describe our successful experience with the same idea implemented while removing a small splinters of needle from a slender digits of a toddler.
