K-wire pinning cannot be routinely recommended. However, in cases of A2, A3 and C1 fractures, a primary dorsal dislocation of less than -20° and in patients without low bone mineral density, K-wire pinning leads to a high rate of radiological, functional good results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
