Forgotten Kirschner wire passing across the sigmoid colon

Abstract: The Kirschner wire (K-wire) is used in the treatment of hip fractures, and migration of a K-wire into the pelvis with resultant colon injury is a very rare complication. We report a case in which a forgotten K-wire passing across the sigmoid colon was accidentally found by screening colonoscopy in a patient with no abdominal symptoms. Surgery was performed to remove the K-wire. Although the migration of a K-wire is extremely rare, it is important for it to be considered in patients with a history of orthopedic… Show more

“…В литературе описаны случаи миграции спиц Киршнера после остеосинтеза ключицы [1, 2], плечевой кости [3], грудины [4], бедренной кости [5,6], восстановления акромиально-ключичного сочленения [7,8,9,10,11]. Локализация сместившегося фиксатора при этом варьирует от субарахноидального пространства до брюшной полости: описаны миграции в сердце, легкие, средостение, аорту, позвоночный канал и мочевой пузырь [12,13,14,15,16,17]. Нередко сместившееся инородное тело приводило к фатальным повреждениям внутренних органов.…”

“…Цель исследования -обратить внимание врачей на возможность бессимптомной миграции спицы Киршнера в мочевой пузырь после остеосинтеза перелома шейки бедренной кости пучком спиц. [13]. В литературе также встречаются данные о перфорации мочевого пузыря и мочеточника [14], брюшного отдела аорты и подвздошных артерий [15], нисходящей полой вены [16,17], повреждении сердца [18], легких [19] и спинного мозга [20].…”
