    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1978 Jul; 60(4):329-31. PubMed ID: 666241.
    Abstract:
    The transmaxillary K-wire is a simple, fast, safe, and effective technique for the fixation of unstable tractured malar bones. Combined with other techniques such as interdental fixation it simplifies and provides the fixation of the Le Fort II fracture or osteotomy and certain osteotomies used for facial advancement. The technique of insertion is described and illustrated.
