Here we report a fracture of the distal part of the guiding wire of a cerebral protection device during carotid artery stenting for management of a restenotic lesion after carotid endarterectomy.展开更多

Guide wire fracture and retention was a very rare and severe complication in central venous catheterization. Here, we reported a case that guide wire was broken and remained in the body in internal jugular vein puncture process in an 8-year-old boy.展开更多

It is therefore rare and often associated with severe injury once it takes place. Besides, as the blood supply to the femoral head is precarious, the fracture can lead to a high incidence of post-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head.^(1,2) So, much attention should be paid to the treatment of femoral fractures in children. The authors have successfully cured an old femoral neck fracture of a girl by open reduction and internal fixation with 3 Kirschner wires supplemented by an external fixator across the hip joint and cancellous allograft at the fracture site. The patient has gotten a satisfactory functional recovery of the hip.展开更多
