Abstract
We report two cases of intrathoracic migration of Kirschner pins used for the treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation. The migration was asymptomatic in both cases. Treatment involved median sternotomy in one patient and video-assisted thoracoscopy in the other. A favorable outcome was observed in both patients. The reports confirm the potential dangers related to management of sternoclavicular joint dislocation with metallic fixation devices.
