Retrospective analysis finds 76.6% of IUCDs displaced, with radiography indicating 92.7% sensitivity for perforations.

Extrauterine displacement was observed in 76.6% of the cases, with partial perforation the most frequently noted issue.
Radiography demonstrated 92.7% sensitivity and 86.3% specificity for detecting IUCD perforations in this cohort.
Patterns of migration included displacement to the pelvic cavity (43.5%) and abdominal cavity (24.2%).
Findings from radiographic patterns are crucial for guiding further imaging and management of misplaced IUCDs.

Kori et al. (2025) studied this question.
