ClinConnect Summary
Supracondylar humeral fractures are the most common elbow fractures in children. Closed reduction and internal fixation using percutaneous Kirschner wires (K-wires) are widely recommended for Gartland type II and III fractures. After percutaneous pinning, the K-wires are bent at the skin edge and cut. The cutoff point is about 1 cm outside of the skin.
The diameters of the K-wires are between 1.5-3.0 mm. The surface of the K-wire is smooth. Therefore, the K-wires are easy to rotation and migration. Proximal migration or rotation of a K-wire could injure the skin. Distal migration of a K-wi...
