摘　　要：Thorn prick injuries are generally conceded frivolous and rarely demand medical attention. Howbeit deep seated injuries are well described in the literature. We presented a case of thorn prick injury to the knee that manifested as Brodie＇s abscess of the medial distal femoral condyle and synovitis. Magnetic resonance imaging （MILl） and ultrasonography could only construe the affliction but not spot the thorn. Arthrotomy was undertaken for explora- tion and debridement. Empirical therapy with initial systemicCefotaxime and subsequent Ofloxacin worked well after the surgery. Deep seated injuries by a thorn prick may take a protracted and torpid course. Thorough curettage of the bony lesion and debridement are vital for proper management.
