MISinWristFracture

• Distal end radius fracture

• Scaphoid fracture

• Soft tissue condition

• Osteosynthetic device

• C-arm

DistalRadiusFracture

ExternalFixatorPros Cons

Less invasive Pin tract infection

Rigid construction Joint stiffness

Neutralize axial load

Friendly with wound care

PITFALLS

Pitfall #

1

Pitfall #

1

Solutionfor#Pitfall1

• Use smaller K-wires for periarticular fixation / multi-fragment fixation

• Increase amount of contact point

Diameter (in.) Diameter (mm.)

0.045 1.14

0.0625 1.58

KirschnerWire

Pitfall #

2

Pin tract infection

Solutionfor#Pitfall2

• Make larger incision allowing adequate space for pin-skin interface during wrist movement

Pitfall #

3

Solutionfor#Pitfall3

• Use larger pin ( at least 2.0 mm) for radioulnar fixation

• Entry point proximal to DRUJ

Pitfall #

4

Over-traction

Solutionfor#Pitfall4

• Bone graft

• Internal fixation

ScaphoidFracture

Indication

• Nondisplaced or minimally displaced fracture

• Multiple fractures

FixationDevice

• Headless screws

TipandTrick#1:Positioning

• Wrist extension + ulnar deviation

TipandTrick#2:EntryPoint

• Provisional K-wire driven through proximal volar corner of the trapezium

• More radial entry point in oblique fracture

TipandTrick#3:Anti-rotationalPin

• Use in unstable fracture

ScaphoidNonunion

Male : 21 y.o.Wrist pain for 1 years

SL angle = 58 degrees

3 mo. postop.

14 mo. postop.

20 mo. postop.

Take Home Messages

• Timing and method of treatment could be managed individually.

• Always prepare instruments for conventional fixation method.

• Postoperative rehabilitation program is mandatory.
