Résumé
Thoracic impalement injuries are very rare and the majority of patients do not survive to reach a medical care facility. In this case report, we describe the successful outcome of a case of double thoracic impalement by two steel tors, of which one steel tor had impaled two patients simultaneously. The case report highlights all aspects of managing such rare and complex cases right from prehospital care; extrication process which happened under controlled environment at the trauma centre itself, till the definitive management of the impaled thoracic objects. Thoracic impalement injuries are dramatic and appear very challenging. However presence of mind of the managing team, coordinated team effort and availability of adequate facilities can lead to a successful outcome.
