Abstract
We managed a group of ten patients, aged from 28 years to 66 years of both sexes with distal radius fracture by K- wires using Kapandji technique. The results has been studied regarding complications, time of recovery and rehabilitation.The basic principle of fracture treatment is to obtain accurate fracture reduction and then to use a method of immobilization that will maintain and hold that reduction. A number of options for treatment are available to prevent the loss of reduction in an unstable fracture of the distal end of the radius such as: nonoperative management by cast or operative management by different techniques according to special criteria as : K-wires, plates and external fixator. Kirschner wires constitute one of the most commonly used methods for fixation of fractures of the distal extremity of forearm bones. The Kapandji method of K-wiring is useful in achieving and maintaining reduction in completely displaced fractures. Near-anatomical closed reduction can be easily achieved with minimal force by the leverage technique. With no fear of redisplacement, the casting period can be reduced. With no clinical deformity, the follow-up period can be shortened.
