11 kwi 2008 · A prospective study was conducted on 54 patients with distal radius fracture who were treated with percutaneous Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation and pin-in-plaster technique. The surgical indications of this technique included displaced extra-articular fracture, intra-articular fracture without significant comminution, and articular step-off ...
In case of pin loosening or pin-track infection, the following steps need to be taken: Remove all involved pins and place new pins in a healthy location. Debride the pin sites in the operating theater, using curettage and irrigation.
Open pin placement will help avoid injury to the first dorsal interosseous muscle and dorsal branch of the radial artery. In addition, pins should not be transfixed into the third metacarpal to avoid damage to the second interosseous muscle and the motor branch of the ulnar nerve.
10 maj 2016 · The indications for external fixation and pinning include intra- and extra-articular dorsally angulated distal radius fractures that fail closed reduction. In addition, severely comminuted distal radius fractures, open fractures, and fracture/dislocations of the wrist would be considered indications for external fixation.
An unstable fracture, particularly one that extends into the wrist’s radiocarpal joint (intra-articular), may be a good candidate for a surgical procedure known as external fixation. This approach entails placing into the bone metal pins that extend outside the surface of the skin.
Stable distal radius fracture fixation possible with threaded pinning method. T-Pin Distal Radius Fixation System. Indirect Reduction and Percutaneous Fixation Led to a Rapid Recovery and Better Function Than ORIF for Intra-Articular Fractures of the Distal End of the Radius.
12 mar 2024 · Distal radius fractures are the most common orthopaedic injury and generally result from fall on an outstretched hand. Diagnosis is made clinically and radiographically with orthogonal radiographs of the wrist.
