Migration of a Broken Kirschner Wire after Surgical Treatment of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation

Migration of a Broken Kirschner Wire after Surgical Treatment of Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation

Kirschner wire (K-wire) is one of the commonly used implants in orthopaedics practice. Migration of the wire is one of the most frequently reported complications after fixation by the K-wire. In particular, it has been reported that a greater range of motion in the shoulder, negative intrathoracic p...
