Abstract

Foreign bodies in the knee joint are uncommon, particulary those not related to surgical procedures. We present a rare case of an intraosseous metallic foreign body penetrating the lateral femoral condyle at left knee causing pain, which was removed with complete resolution of the symptoms due to walking – running injury in a child.
