One century of Kirschner wires and Kirschner wire insertion techniques: a historical review.
A century ago, in 1909, Martin Kirschner (1879-1942) introduced a smooth pin, presently known as the Kirschner wire (K-wire). The K-wire was initially used for skeletal traction and is now currently used for many different goals. The development of the K-wire and its insertion devices were mainly influenced by the change in operative goals and by the introduction of antibiotics. The first versi...
متن کاملStabilization of forearm fractures in children using intramedullary Kirschner wires.
Background. Minimally invasive intramedullary stabilization is a widely accepted method for treating long bone fractures in children. Indications concerning age and type of fracture have increased in the last decade. The aim of our study was to assess outcome in intramedullary Kirschner wire stabilization used to treat forearm fractures in children. Material and methods. From 1997 to 2004 intra...
متن کاملKirschner wires caused unexpected complications of femoral neck fracture.
OBJECTIVE To report a unique complication of the surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures.

The wires were used to fix a fracture on the neck of the femur during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. A plain X-ray showed an ol...
متن کاملMetatarsal Fracture Reduction and Fixation by Kirschner Wires: Technical Tip
The incidence of metatarsal fractures is not precisely known. Malposition might cause future metatarsalgia, mid-foot pain and discomfort, which may dictate an on-going need for in-shoe orthosis, shoe modification and, occasionally, operative correction. To minimize and prevent these problems, we describe a simple technique for reduction and fixation of metatarsal fractures by Kirschner wires. W...
متن کاملChronic Perforation of the Aortic Arch by Kirschner Wires
Perforation of the heart or great vessels by orthopedic wires is a rare complication that mostly results in severe or even lethal organ injury. Therefore, such conditions mostly require immediate surgical removal of the wires. However, in some individual cases, a conservative approach may be preferable. We describe a case of a 70-year-old woman whose aortic arch has been penetrated by two Kirsc...
