COMMINUTED FRACTURES OF THE DISTAL END OF THE RADIUS TREATED BY ULNAR PINNING

ANTHONY F. DePALMA M.D.1

1 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Jefferson Medical College Hospital, Philadelphia

A method of ulnar pinning after reduction by traction and manipulation in which all components of the fracture are corrected has yielded a satisfactory percentage of excellent and good results.

No infection occurred when a threaded wire was used and cut below the level of the skin. In two cases in which an unthreaded wire was used and the wire left protruding from the skin, a mild low-grade infection developed around the pin site which subsided readily upon removal of the pins.
