摘要
We report, a rare complication related to the insertion of Kirschner wires for stabilization of an acromioclavicular separation. Five years after placement of the Kirschner wires, the patient presented with hemoptysis. On review of chest radiographs, a fractured wire was found to have migrated from the acromioclavicular joint, through the hemithorax and into the trachea.
