We report a rare complication related to the insertion of Kirschner wires for stabilization of an acromioclavicular separation. Five years after placement of the Kirschner wires, the patient presented with hemoptysis. On review of chest radiographs, a fractured wire was found to have migrated from the acromioclavicular joint, through the hemithorax and into the trachea.
我们报告了一例与用于稳定肩锁关节分离而插入克氏针相关的罕见并发症。在克氏针置入五年后，患者出现咯血。复查胸部X光片时，发现一根断裂的克氏针已从肩锁关节移位，穿过半侧胸腔并进入气管。
