Abstract

Migration of Kirschner wires (K-wires) postoperativelyand with use of cannulated implants intraoperatively is awell-known complication. In this article, we present anextraordinary mechanism causing intraoperative migrationof a K-wire. A K-wire which was used for temporary fixationof fracture fragments migrated forwardly due to its contactwith the drill bit while drilling a hole for a screw. Theinteraction between the K-wire and the drill bit simulateda gear wheel effect and thus the rotating K-wire advanced.Although no complications occurred in this case, we believethat the mentioned mechanism may be of importanceparticularly in osteoporotic patients and may cause damageto vital structures.

Özet

Kirschner tellerinin (K-teli) ameliyat sonrasında ve kanüllüimplantların kullanımı ile ameliyat sırasında yer değiştirmesibilinen bir komplikasyondur. Bu yazıda ameliyat sırasındaK-telinin yer değiştirmesine neden olan sıra dışı birmekanizma sunuldu. Kırık fragmanlarının geçici tespiti içinkullanılan bir K-teli, bir vida deliği açılırken dönen matkapucunun teması sonucunda ileriye doğru yer değiştirdi. K-telive matkap ucu arasındaki etkileşim bir dişli çark etkisioluşturdu ve böylece dönen K-teli ilerledi. Her ne kadarbu olguda herhangi bir komplikasyon oluşmamış olsa dabahsedilen mekanizmanın özellikle osteoporotik hastalardaönemli olabileceği ve hayati yapılarda yaralanmaya nedenolabileceği düşünüldü.
