Kirschner wire fixation of bone plates in craniotomies
The American Journal of Surgery, 1958Abstract Kirschner wire fixation of bone plates in craniotomies is a rather simple and time-saving method. Usually three wires, 0.8 mm. in size, suffice to produce stable fixation. The wire is drilled from the margin of the craniotomy into the bone plate, but it also can be driven in from the bone plate into the margin of the craniotomy.

Why fine-wire fixators work: An analysis of pressure distribution at the wire–bone interface
Journal of Biomechanics, 2007Tensioned fine-wire external fixator systems have been used successfully for the treatment of fractures, mal-unions and for limb lengthening for many years. When used in metaphyseal bone, this type of fixator has a lower loosening rate than half-pin fixators.

Development of Bone Graft Using Wire Mesh Solids
Volume 3, 2004Bone graft is often used to restore instability of lumber spines following a surgical removal due to tumour growth or other diseases. The application of a newly developed, low cost wire mesh is examined as a potential candidate for graft. Mechanical properties of the mesh block were tested and finite element analyses were conducted to calculate stress ...

Notched K-wire for low thermal damage bone drilling
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2017The Kirschner wire (K-wire) is a common bone drilling tool in orthopedic surgery to affix fractured bone. Significant heat is produced due to both the cutting and the friction between the K-wire and the bone debris during drilling. Such heat can result in high temperatures, leading to osteonecrosis and other secondary injuries. To reduce thermal injury

Instruments for Use with Flexible Steel Wire in Bone Surgery
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1958A wire tightener has been developed which tightens and then twists the ends of wire loops in a manner which is reproducible from loop to loop, and which does not place excessive strain on the basic twist where loops are liable to be weakened so that they subsequently break.

Posterior cervical fusion with methylmethacrylate, wire, and bone: Technical note
Surgical Neurology, 1994Surgical stabilization of non-neoplastic spinal lesions with methylmethacrylate and wire remains a controversial issue. In this report we offer a method of posterior cervical arthrodesis that combines using midline wire and acrylic with a lateral bony fusion. This construct allows for immediate as well as long-term stability.

Fixation of nasal bone grafts with interosseous wire: our technique
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2010AbstractBackground:The use of interosseous wire to fix bone grafts is well known. Herein, we describe a technique for fixation of an iliac crest bone graft for nasal augmentation, using a stainless steel wire.Method:A hole in the cancellous part of the graft guides the wire exactly into a groove in the cortical part, preventing slippage and ensuring ...

Kirschner-wire fixation of small bones.
American journal of orthopedics (Belle Mead, N.J.), 2007A simple technique for Kirschner-wire placement in small bones is to place the wire over the to-be-pinned bones, push the wire out through the skin, and run the wire back across the bones.

Tension Band Wiring-Bone Grafting for Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis
Spine, 1989Patients with spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis with persistent symptoms often require surgical treatment. The purpose of this article is to present a new surgical technique and clinical results of 13 patients with symptomatic spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis who were treated with tension band wiring (intra- or intersegmental) and bone grafting ...
