Forgotten Kirschner Wire Causing Severe Hematuria
Kirschner wire (K-wire) is commonly used in the treatment of hip fracture and its migration into pelvis leading to bladder injury is a very rare complication. Nonremoval of these devices either because of lack of followup or because of prolonged requirement due to disease process is associated with this complication. We report a case of a patient who presented with acute onset severe hematuria ...
متن کاملKirschner wire migration from subcapital humeral fracture site, causing hydropneumothorax
Migration of wires or pins around the shoulder is a known complication, though their migration within the chest is uncommon. We report an unusual case of hydropneumothorax due to migration of a bent Kirschner wire from the right proximal humerus in a 63 year-old man. We reviewed his clinical history, physical examination, imaging findings, surgical method and outcome. We also reviewed the liter...
متن کاملKirschner Wire Breakage during Removal Requiring Retrieval
Kirschner wires (K-wires) are widely used for fixation of fractures and dislocations in the hand as they are readily available, reliable, and cost-effective. Complication rates of up to 18% have been reported. However, K-wire breakage during removal is rare. We present one such case illustrating a simple technique for retrieval. A 35-year-old male presented with a distal phalanx fracture of his...
متن کاملIntrathoracic migration of a Kirschner wire
Kirschner (K) wires can easily migrate, resulting in serious complications. We report a 49-year-old woman who had a rare and late complication related to the migration of K wire. It had been used for left hip replacement 8 years ago. The patient admitted to our hospital with breathing-dependent chest pain and increasing dyspnea for ∼2 h. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomographic scans revealed...
متن کاملMetacarpal fractures treated by percutaneous Kirschner wire
Introduction: Metacarpals and phalanges are injury prone in daily work and life. These constitute 10% of all fractures. Although these fractures are considered minor injuries, such injuries may cause major disabilities if not taken care of. Most hand fractures can be treated by nonoperative methods with good outcome. However unstable fractures need some form of fixation. Aim of our study is to ...
