    Thirteen years of migration of Kirschner wires: A mediastinal foreign body
    (Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2023) Ozbey, Mahmut; Turkmen, Ufuk; Sahin, Ekber
    Kirschner wires used for orthopedic fixation can rarely migrate over time. A 26-year-old male patient in whom two Kirschner wires were inserted 13 years ago for the stabilization of the right sternoclavicular joint dislocation and migrated into the anterior mediastinum and left hilum was admitted to our clinic. Incidentally detected Kirschner wires on chest radiography were removed by superior mini-sternotomy. In conclusion, since migration of Kirschner wires may cause serious complications, these patients should be followed closely and the wires should be removed once migration is detected.
