A plethora of complications have been reported after insertion of a Steinmann pin amongst which the commonest ones are infection and pin loosening. We present a literature review on pathological fractures arising out of cortical defects left behind by pin insertion and report a unique case where a Steinmann pin insertion in proximal tibia has given rise to a fracture as late as 3 years after insertion.
在插入斯氏针后已报告了大量并发症,其中最常见的是感染和针松动。我们对因插入斯氏针后留下的皮质缺损而导致的病理性骨折进行了文献综述,并报告了一个独特的病例,即胫骨近端插入斯氏针后直至插入3年后才发生骨折。
