Intra-pulmonary migration of a clavicle osteosynthesis pin: a case report

Article scientifique 2024 Anglais

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Fractures of the clavicle are common injuries, which often require reduction and internal fixation. Although Kirschner pins have been commonly used to treat these fractures with good results, migration of these devices may result in severe internal lesions. CASE PRESENTATION: We report herein the case of 61-year-old man, who presented for intrapulmonary migration of a Kirschner pin, 25 years after closed reduction and fixation of a clavicle fracture. CONCLUSION: Migration of an osteosynthesis pin can be lethal. Patients with osteosynthesis pins, should have a regular follow, until the removal of the wires.
