Kirschner Wire Infections in Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2015Few studies have described the presentation, bacteriology, risk factors, and complications of Kirschner wire infections in pediatrics. The purpose of this study is to describe these factors to better understand, prevent, and treat infectious complications of smooth wires.A retrospective review was performed to identify all patients (birth to 16 y) who ...

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2013
Although Kirschner wires are useful implants in many situations, migration of the wire and irritation of the surrounding soft tissues are common complications. Seven steps are described herein, which result in a Kirschner wire that is bent 180° angle, providing a smooth anchor into bone.

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1994
The Kirschner wire guide is a useful means of introducing K-wires into the facial skeleton. It can be easily constructed in the maxillofacial laboratory and its use allows accurate positioning of K-wires, especially in fractures of the zygomatic complex.

Intrathoracic Migration of a Kirschner Wire
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 1999Intrathoracic migration of a Kirschner wire is a serious complication and immediate removal of the wire is mandatory. We describe a case of Kirschner wire migration from the left shoulder to the thorax. The wire was successfully retrieved from the intrapleural cavity.

Unusual migration of a Kirschner wire
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1991Orthopaedic procedures involve utilization of internal fixation devices. Screws, wires and plates are removed due to loosening or infection. Migration of these devices is also well established. We present an unusual case of migration of a Kirschner wire from the right shoulder to the spleen within a period of 12 h.

Intrathoracic migration of a Kirschner wire
Injury, 1990Migration of Kirschner wires, Rush pins, etc., is well known. Such migrations usually follow a retrograde path and the wires protrude near the entry point. Occasionally migration occurs in another direction. We describe a case in which the Kirschner wire migrated from the shoulder to the thorax. Several factors caused this migration.
