We are reporting a tree-related injury of a young adult who was thrown out through the windshield of a vehicle after a traffic accident and brought to the emergency room with a large tree branch stuck in his leg. Tree-related injuries are associated with difficult weather conditions, tree-stands of hunters and traffic accidents. When faced with such injuries, large branches should be carefully removed, care should be taken to avoid secondary damage caused by small branches and splinters and ultrasonography should be preferred primarily for imaging in cases where there is a suspicion of splinter injuries.
