Abstract | Displaced fractures of the forearm in children are often treated conservatively, but there is a relatively high incidence of redisplacement, malunion and consequent limitation of function. We have performed percutaneous Kirschner (K) wire fixation in 72 such children under the age of 14 years, of which 57 were reviewed for our study. Both the radius and ulna were fractured in 45 (79%), the radius only in eight and the ulna only in four. The mean initial angulation was 19°in the lateral plane and 9°in the anteroposterior plane for the radius and 15°and 9°, respectively, for the ulna. In 42 patients (74%) we performed closed reduction. In the remaining 15 (26%) closed reduction failed and an open reduction, through a minimal approach, was required before K wiring. At a mean follow-up of 20 months all patients had good functional results with an excellent range of movement. Only five had angulation of from 10°to 15°and none had nonunion, premature epiphyseal closure or deep infection. Percutaneous intramedullary K wiring for forearm diaphyseal fracture is a convenient, effective and safe operation, with minimal complications. |
