Abstract

Background: K-Wire pinning of comminuted intra-articular distal radius fracture is a good technique and has been shown good results in various ages of patients. Purpose: Spotlight the technique of k-wire pinning of comminuted intra-articular distal radius fracture with focus on the sound technique, follow up, results and complications. Methods: The study included 20 patients after obtaining informed consent who underwent k-wire pinning of comminuted intra-articular distal radius fracture between January 2019 and December 2019. We have evaluated the cases using DASH Score, VASP Score and presence or absence of complications . Results: good results were obtained using this technique with low rate of complications. 10 % of cases were infected, 20 % of cases with bad range of motion, 10 % of cases develop distressing pain after fracture union. Conclusion: Our results show that k-wire pinning is a safe technique for fixation of comminuted intra-articular distal radius fracture. The adopted technique show satisfactory results among patients.  Our results show that majority of patients have low DASH Score and excellent to good range of motion and minimal complications
