Percutaneous pinning of talar neck fractures

Amir H Fayazi et al. Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 2002 Feb.

Abstract

In this article, we describe a technique for percutaneous pinning of talar neck fractures. This technique, which uses 2 partially threaded cannulated screws placed in opposite directions and parallel to each other, minimizes soft-tissue injury and blood-supply disruption and can shorten surgery. In addition, it allows for fracture compression and optimal positioning of screws, which increase the biomechanical stability of the fixation.
