One century of Kirschner wires and Kirschner wire insertion techniques: a historical review.
Acta orthopaedica Belgica, 2010A century ago, in 1909, Martin Kirschner (1879-1942) introduced a smooth pin, presently known as the Kirschner wire (K-wire). The K-wire was initially used for skeletal traction and is now currently used for many different goals. The development of the K-wire and its insertion devices were mainly influenced by the change in operative goals and by the ...

A simplified technique for bending Kirschner wires
The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 1995Kirschner wires are extremely popular in foot surgery for fixation of osteotomies and digital procedures. Bending the protruding portion of a Kirschner wire used for fixation in foot surgery can sometimes be troublesome. A simplified technique is presented for bending protruding Kirschner wires using a Frazier size 3 suction tube.

Combination of Kirschner Wire and Wire Loop
1982Numerous types of internal fixation plates are recommended for the stabilization of an intertrochanteric fracture of osteotomy in the child, all of which are based on the tension band principle (angled blade plates). However, this principle can also be utilized in almost ideal fashion with Kirschner wires and wire loops.

Buried kirschner wire fixation in digital fusion
The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 1995There have been many methods utilized to fixate the proximal interphalangeal joints of the lesser digits for osseous fusion. The authors present a clinical retrospective review of a new alternative of buried Kirschner wire fixation. A review of forty-six Kirschner wires (30 cases) is presented.

Intrasphenoidal Migration of a Premaxillary Kirschner Wire
The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, 2000Objective The use of Kirschner wire for the fixation of premaxilla is a well-known method in bilateral cleft lip surgery. We report a case in which the Kirschner wire of the premaxillary fixation had migrated intrasphenoidally. Results and Conclusions The foreign body was accidentally discovered during a cephalometric analysis and was taken out ...

Migrated Kirschner Wire in the Posterior Mediastinum
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2014At the age of 11 years, a female patient had sustained a fracture of the right humerus. She underwent open reduction and internal fixation with two straight Kirschner wires (K-wires). Twenty years later, at the age of 31 years, she underwent a chest roentgenogram for suspected respiratory symptoms when it was discovered that one of the K-wires (arrow ...

[Intrathoracic migration of Kirschner wires].
Magyar sebeszet, 2010Orthopedic surgeons apply metallic pins to stabilize the clavicule and humerus on a daily basis. Migration of these pins into the thoracic cavity is rare. We present the case of an elderly female patient, whose right humeroscapular joint was fixed with Kirschner wires due to recurrent luxation.
