abstract="INTRODUCTION: We present the case of a patient with penetrating penile injury caused by splintering floorboards in a gymnasium. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-year-old man was brought to the emergency department of our hospital because of an unintentional penetrating penile injury sustained while playing volleyball at a gymnasium. He dove into the wooden floor to fly-receive the ball. When sliding with his abdomen on the floor, a wooden splinter from the floorboard stuck from the base of his penis to near the glans penis. The splinter was gently removed without bleeding under local anesthesia. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Splintering floorboards in gymnasiums can cause serious trauma, including penile injuries. Health-care workers and users of public facilities, such as gymnasiums, should be aware of the accident risk associated with wooden floors.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
