Abstract

Kirschner wire fixation in sternoclavicular dislocation poses a considerable risk of serious early or late complications. We report a case of Kirschner wire penetration into the innominate vein and aorta, which caused aortovenous fistula and congestive heart failure.

Keywords: Sternoclavicular Joint, Percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation, Pin migration
