Posterior cervical fusion with methylmethacrylate, wire, and bone: Technical note

Surgical Neurology, 1994
Surgical 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, 2010
AbstractBackground: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 ...

Instruments for Use with Flexible Steel Wire in Bone Surgery

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1958
A 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.

Notched K-wire for low thermal damage bone drilling

Medical Engineering & Physics, 2017
The 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

Mechanical Performance of External Fixators With Wires for the Treatment of Bone Fractures—Part II: Wire Tension and Slippage

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1993
The work shows correct procedures needed in order to gather reliable data from measurement of displacements versus axial load in a laboratory mounting of the Ilizarov external fixator. The mechanism of settling after load cycling is investigated. Detension under load is a major problem of wires.

Kirschner-wire fixation of small bones.

American journal of orthopedics (Belle Mead, N.J.), 2007
A 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, 1989
Patients 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 ...

Transfixion Wire Positioning Within the Bone

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2006
The greatest angle that can be formed by the crossing wires at the proximal tibia level without altering safe corridors approaches only 60 degrees. Consequently, the wires are positioned more in the coronal than the sagittal plane. Looking for an increase in sagittal bending stiffness, we evaluated different wire positioning within the proximal tibia ...

Bone-metal bonding after kirschner wire studding

Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1981
A clinical case is reported on in which there were difficulties in removing Kirschner wires from the bone four years after arthrodeses of a shoulder. These could only be removed with great force. They displayed muff-like mantling with bone. The histological investigations revealed that the bone had deposited directly on the metal surface and that ...

Bone Transport Techniques—Classic (Ilizarov + Hexapod With Pins and Wires)

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma
Summary: Bone transport using external fixation remains a vital limb salvage technique in the treatment of post-traumatic segmental bone loss and deformities. Classic circular external fixators based on the Ilizarov method have long been the gold standard for bone transport, offering multiplanar stability and the ability to regenerate
