Retrieval of a broken guide wire transfixing the hip through the proximal femoral nail hole

Retrieval of a broken guide wire transfix- ing the acetabulum or with intrapelvic migration is challeng- ing and frustrating for surgeons. We here present a case report on a method to remove a broken guide wire transfix- ing the acetabulum through the proximal hole of recon nail using a grasping forceps. This method is little invasive,easy, time-saving and without need for changing the inital fixation.
