[Combined intrapulmonary/intramediastinal K-wire position after K-wire osteosynthesis of the clavicle : A case report].

The treatment of lateral clavicle fractures should be performed with bent Kirschner wires as they can otherwise lead to severe complications including the occurrence of pseudarthrosis or secondary migration of the material. Safe and stable surgical techniques (plate osteosynthesis, hybrid treatment) should be preferred if they are available.
