  • Title: Percutaneous temporal wiring method for minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of distal femoral fractures.
    Author: Kim YM, Yang JY, Kim KC, Lee HJ, Lee SR.

    Abstract:
    The surgical reduction of distal femoral fractures with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is difficult and the maintenance of the reduction can involve high exposures to radiation. We designed an effective fracture reduction method involving a percutaneous temporal wiring technique for the reduction of distal femoral fractures with oblique or spiral fracture components during surgery with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis. Our method consistently reduced these fractures satisfactorily. The maintenance of reduction and plate fixation were easy with our method and the radiation exposure during the operation was reduced.
