From shoulder to spine: A rare case of K-wire migration after acromioclavicular fixation [PDF]

Trauma Case Reports
Acromioclavicular dislocation is frequently managed with temporary K-wire fixation, but wire migration remains a rare and serious complication. We report a case of intraspinal K-wire migration following acromioclavicular stabilization in a 58-year-old ...

Influence of k-wire placement on impact mechanics and bone fracture in a rabbit model of cartilage injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
In vivo rabbit models that deliver mechanical impacts to knee cartilage are important for studying injury-induced osteoarthritis, but variability in impact characteristics limit the repeatability of the models.

Neck migration of a K-wire following fixation of clavicle fracture: a case report [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Kirschner wires (K-wires) remain a simple and cost-effective option for clavicle fixation, especially in resource-limited settings. However, migration of K-wires is a rare but potentially fatal complication that can involve critical structures
