Kirschner wire is frequently used in orthopedic surgery, and migration is not exceptional. Intrathoracic migration is well-known, especially after surgery on the shoulder girdle, however, intratracheal migration is extremely rare. We describe a case of intratracheal migration of two Kirschner wires in a 41-year-old man who had them placed two years previously for a right clavicle fracture. He experienced chest pain followed by hemoptysis. Thoracic computed tomography revealed intratracheal migration. Remove of the Kirschner wires was performed by a cervical-sternotomy approach. Prompt removal of migrated Kirschner wires must be carried out urgently to avoid fatal complications.
克氏针在骨科手术中经常使用,发生迁移并不罕见。胸内迁移是众所周知的,特别是在肩部手术后,但气管内迁移极为罕见。我们描述了一例 41 岁男性患者的气管内迁移病例,他两年前因右锁骨骨折而接受了克氏针固定。他经历了胸痛,随后出现咯血。胸部计算机断层扫描显示气管内迁移。克氏针通过颈胸骨切开术取出。必须紧急取出迁移的克氏针,以避免致命并发症。
