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 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 ...
متن کاملIntrapelvic migration of a Kirschner wire.
Intrapelvic migration of a Kirschner wire, used in the treatment of hip fracture, is rare. We report a case of intrapelvic migration of a Kirschner wire 10 years after its placement. Even though the patient was asymptomatic, we proceeded to remove the migrated wire using laparoscopic techniques. Given the increasing number of hip operations being performed, and given that intrapelvic foreign bo...
