K-wire shows striking advantages to plateosteosynthesis for distal metaphyseal radius fracture in children: a retrospective, two-center study
Metaphyseal distal radius fractures are very common in children. Even though there is a return toward successful conservative treatment, there are still distal radius fractures that require surgical treatment. K-wire osteosynthesis has become the most common surgical procedure. But no gold standard...

| Sumario: | Metaphyseal distal radius fractures are very common in children. Even though there is a return toward successful conservative treatment, there are still distal radius fractures that require surgical treatment. K-wire osteosynthesis has become the most common surgical procedure. But no gold standard has been defined yet and evidence directly comparing pin and plate fixation in pediatric patients remains limited. Some hospitals prefer plate osteosynthesis for metaphyseal fractures in especially older children. Aim of the study was to compare complications, operative time, radiation exposure, reduction quality, and functional outcomes of K-wire versus plate osteosynthesis in pediatric metaphyseal distal radius fractures. |
