| Popis: | Kirschner wires are used in orthopedic surgery for fixation of fractures. We have recently treated a patient who presented with intrathoracic migration of a sharp Kirschner wire which was used for fixing acromioclavicular fracture. She underwent successful thoracotomy with retrieval of the wire from the right upper lobe. Close follow- up and early detection will allow successful treatment of this dangerous complication. |
