Indore (Madhya Pradesh): In a rare case, doctors at Sri Aurobindo Hospital successfully removed a 5 cm-long steel nail that had dangerously moved from his shoulder to his throat just 2 mm away from piercing a major blood vessel near the oesophagus (food pipe).

SAMC general secretary Dr Mahak Bhandari said that a 40-year-old man from Paikunda village, Dhar, was admitted with persistent cough, cold, and throat pain for nearly two weeks.

Investigations revealed that around two and a half years ago, he had suffered a collarbone fracture in an accident and the 5 cm steel nail (K-wire) was inserted in his shoulder to stabilise the fracture.
