Abstract: We report a 42 year old man who had undergone osteo synthesis to treat left clavicle fracture with a Kirschner wires (K-wire). After 1 month of surgery, began to feel pain in left clavicle region. He was informed that the symptom was expected by the surgical procedure and just analgesics were prescribed. Three months after surgery the pain in left clavicle and upper thoracic spine region continue and an x-ray shows the K-wire had migrated medially. It was attempted to remove with locally anesthetic, but unsuccessfully.
