Abstract
Orthopaedic 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. Review of the literature does not reveal any previous occurrence of this nature.Entities:
