Migration of a kirschner wire in the body. A case report.

P J Retief, F A Meintjes.   

Abstract

Foreign bodies may enter the body by various ways, yet migration in the body seldom occurs. A case is described where a Kirschner wire, which had been inserted in the shoulder joint, migrated through the pleural cavity and the diaphragm, apparently by force of gravity. It was subsequently easily removed by laparotomy.
