The Journal of Hand Surgery : Journal of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand
D G HargreavesR Eckersley

Abstract

This prospective, randomized trial compares the infection rates of Kirschner wires left percutaneously and those buried deep to the skin in a group of patients with isolated distal radial fractures. Percutaneous wires had a significantly greater infection rate than wires which were buried deep to the skin.
