Abstract

Car Gearbox explosion-related injuries are very rare but could be serious. We reported a 43-year-old female patient who sustained severe bilateral lower limb injuries following an explosion of the gearbox in her private car while waiting at a traffic signal. The patient suffered from a left open tibia shaft fracture and severely macerated soft tissues, along with an open wound on the right leg. This case report highlights the unpredictable and serious nature of an incident due to a rare car gearbox explosion and the challenges associated with its management and outcomes.
