included with these instruments are a testament to the thoughtful design that caters to the needs of veterinary professionals. These racks are specifically designed to keep the K wires organized and easily accessible, allowing for quick identification and retrieval during surgery. This feature not only...

K-wires are sharpened, smooth pins that are widely used in orthopedic surgery as well as other types of surgery. They are often made of stainless steel. K-wires come in a variety of sizes and are used to hold bone fragments together. K-wires may be driven into the bone (sometimes throu...
Reference is now made to FIG. 8. With the first metatarsal manually reduced, the K-wires100a,100bare positioned so that the tapered portions just exit the medial cortex of the first metatarsal. This will allow easy passage of the #2 FiberWire® through the drilled holes. ...
To prevent transcutaneous infections from the wires, regular wound checks should be made. Six weeks after surgery, the K-wires were removed. In some cases, local anaesthesia was necessary; wires were removed with pliers. During this appointment, the recumbent cast was changed to a walking cast,...
A new technique of direct fixation of the endoscopically elevated scalp-periosteal flap to the underlying skeleton using transcutaneous K-wires is described. The technique is very simple to perform. It is expedient. The instrument requirement is minimal. The level of elevation of the brow can be ...
