Clinical Application
This trocar‑point K‑wire is intended for percutaneous skeletal fixation and provisional stabilization in orthopedic procedures involving small bones and extremities. Common uses include fracture pinning, temporary reduction maintenance during ORIF, fixation for metacarpal and phalangeal injuries, and as part of external fixation constructs or skeletal traction setups where a straight pin of moderate diameter and extended length is required.
Design & Configuration
The trocar point geometry provides a sharp, three‑faceted tip designed to penetrate cortical bone with controlled entry, reducing the need for extensive soft tissue dissection or pre‑drilling in many situations. The straight, smooth shaft minimizes soft tissue drag and facilitates percutaneous insertion and removal. The 1.6 mm diameter offers a balance of bending resistance and low profile suited to small‑bone fixation, while the 310 mm length accommodates deeper transosseous placements and use in longer constructs or when external fixation frames are employed.
Instrument Specifications
- Size: 1.6 x 310 mm (diameter x length)
- Tip: Trocar point for cortical penetration
- Configuration: Straight, smooth pin shaft
- Primary use: Percutaneous fixation, provisional stabilization, external fixation components
Material & Construction
