Abstract

We present a case report of K-wire migration in a 64-year-old woman 28 years after insertion in the right pelvic bone. Two K-wires migrated to the contralateral side of the abdomen and right gluteus maximus, respectively. The K-wires were removed without complications. This case confirms the unpredictability of retained K-wires. The migration of the K-wires may have been triggered by recent cemented cuprevision. To our knowledge, K-wire migration in relation to aseptic loosening after cuprevision has not previously been reported in the literature.
