Steel Nail Moves From Shoulder to Throat, Removed in Surgery

A man had a steel nail put in his shoulder to fix a broken bone.

A few years later, the nail moved from his shoulder to his throat.

This was dangerous because it was close to a big blood vessel.

Doctors performed a surgery to remove the nail.

The surgery took a few hours and was successful.

If the nail had moved a little more, it could have caused serious bleeding.

The doctors said it was a rare case.
