The migration of K-wire has been reported in the literature, but such migration into the urinary bladder is extremely rare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a case of an asymptomatic patient with a migrating K-wire in the urinary bladder, who came to our follow-up clinic after treatment of a hip fracture. The patient was absolutely fine but follow-up image showed K-wire in the urinary bladder. In view to prevent further migration and injuries, the laparotomy was planned and wire has been removed under the C-arm image guidance. Postoperative period was uneventful and patient was discharged.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of reporting this case was to spread the awareness about mandatory follow-up after K-wire placement, its migration, and the recommendation to remove it at earliest. As per my best knowledge, this is the first and unique case of K-wire migration into the urinary bladder, detected on follow-up image without symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bending the end of the K-wires after insertion, the restriction of joint movement, and removal of migrated K-wires at earliest are the key points in a patients with K-wire insertion. The mandatory follow-up in cases of K-wire placement for treatment of bone fracture, and early diagnosis prevent the potentially fatal complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2023.107962","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,3]],"date-time":"2023-03-03T20:39:21Z","timestamp":1677875961000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Migrated K-wire in the urinary bladder not causing symptoms"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Anil","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sudeep","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shiv Shankar","family":"Paswan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anup","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Roshen Abdul","family":"Razek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-42-20260313","first-page":"1","article-title":"One century of Kirschner wires and Kirschner wire insertion techniques: a historical review","volume":"76","author":"Franssen","year":"2010","journal-title":"Acta Orthop.
