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.
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.
Migration of an osteosynthesis pin can be lethal. Patients with osteosynthesis pins, should have a regular follow, until the removal of the wires.
锁骨骨折是常见的损伤，通常需要复位和内固定。虽然克氏针已被广泛用于治疗这些骨折，效果良好，但这些器械的迁移可能导致严重的内部损伤。
我们在此报告一例 61 岁男性患者，在闭合复位和固定锁骨骨折 25 年后，出现克氏针内肺迁移。
内固定针的迁移可能是致命的。接受内固定针治疗的患者应定期随访，直至取出内固定线。
