Kirschner wire fixation techniques

According to your method, a Kirschner wire can be used to fix the fracture in the anatomical position; then, drill holes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the phalanx at the proximal and distal ends of the fracture, 0.5-1 cm from the fracture line, and pass through the bilateral cortex. The two K-wires with a diameter of 1.5mm should be in a plane, and this plane should be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the phalanx; then take out these two K-wires, insert the injection needle as a catheter at the needle channel, and put the A 1mm steel wire is passed through and then tightened and pressed—equivalent to a tension band steel wire. This kind of fixation is very reliable, and it can be exercised early after surgery to facilitate functional recovery. This method can also be used for phalangeal fusion.
