Abstract		We report on a case of incomplete fracture of the metaphyseal portion of the femur produced by a wooden missile, a part of which remained stuck in the bone after wound management. The wooden foreign body in the bone was detected with xeroradiography and computed tomography. Complete regression of acute inflammation was achieved through removal of the wounding agent, wound debridement, and systemic and local antibiotic therapy.
