Abstract

Migration of Steinmann pins into the thoracic cavity is uncommon, but when occurs it can bring devasting consequences. A Sixty-year-old woman had pinning of the right humerus surgical neck fracture. She was not followed up after discharge Two years later, a chest x-ray film and chest CT showed that the pin had migrated to the right hemithorax. The migrated pins were removed with right anterolateral thoracotomy incision without any difficulties.

충남대학교 의과 대학 흉부외과학 교실에서 상박 외과경 골절 고정에 이용한 Steinmann씨 핀이 흉강내로 이동한 환자 1예를 치험 하였다. 핀 하나는 흉벽에 약간의 유착을 형성하여,흉벽에 위치했고 하나는 흉곽출구에서 흉강 내로 관통하고 있었다. 우측방 개흉으로 어려움 없이 제거하고 환자는 수술 10일에 경쾌 퇴원하였다.
