Wireless Connection between Guide Wires and Bone Cement: Extravasated Methyl Methacrylate Mimicking a Retained Guide Wire [PDF]
Case Reports in Radiology, 2013 We present the case of a 56-year-old double lung transplant recipient with chest pain who underwent an attempted endovascular retrieval of what was described as a retained guide wire in the azygos vein. After successfully grasping the tip, the object further migrated to the right pulmonary artery complicating the retrieval.

Internal kirschner wire fixation of fractures of the facial bones
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1957 ROWE and Killey (1955) mention only very briefly the internal Kirschner wire fixation for fractures of the facial bones. Gibson and Allan (I956) mention this method and state that they have no personal experience, and Burch (I95I) considered it likely to result in poor apposition, delayed healing, and other complications. These remarks led us to report

Kirschner Wires: insertion techniques and bone related consequences
, 2010 The Kirschner (K-) wire was first introduced in 1909 by Martin Kirschner. This is a thin unthreaded wire of surgical steel with a diameter of up to three millimeters and a selection of different tips. The use of K-wires is often promoted as a simple technique because of its easy placement, cost-effectiveness and safety.
