Description
Kirschner (K-) wires are often used for osteosynthesis of many types of fractures. Dislocation and migration through the tissues, especially when used for shoulder girdle fractures, have been reported previously. K-wire migration after surgery of pelvis and knee was reported before. To the authors’ knowledge, broken and migrated K-wires after ankle fractures were not reported before. Here, we report a case with broken and migrated K-wires after open reduction and internal Wxation of a medial malleolar fracture.
