Removal of Broken Guide Wire- an Innovative Technique using Pituitary Forceps

Breakage of guide wire is an unusual, uninvited problem during hip surgery. Its retrieval is even more challenging. We are reporting a case where we stuck with the broken guide wire in the head of the femur, and presenting a simple, cost-effective method for its removal using hollow mill, pituitary forceps and c-arm which are readily available in any orthopaedics operating room.
