Intra-Pelvic Penetration of Broken Guide Wire during Fixation of Hip Fracture: Presentation of a Case and Review of Literature
The application of a cannulateddevice is a widely used fixation method for hip fractures. Although the breakage of the guide wire during this procedure is an uncommon complication, migration of the broken fragment might be catastrophic.
We presented a case of intertrochanteric fracture with breakage of the lag screw guide wire in the acetabulum during fixation with cephalomedullary nail. The broken fragment was located with computed tomography (CT) scan and removed through Stoppa approach.
We found the Stoppaapproach a safe and useful method for extracting the intra-pelvic broken guide wire.
