2018, Journal of Hand SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The purpose of this technique description is to introduce a minimally invasive procedure that has advantages over the more extensive exposure needed for volar plating yet provides better stability than Kapandji pinning alone. Minimally invasive percutaneous pinning is a common treatment option in the spectrum of modalities used to treat distal radius fractures.7–9 Advantages of minimally invasive percutaneous pinning include increased stability compared with cast alone and that it keeps the soft tissue envelope intact compared with open reduction and internal fixation.

2016, Journal of Hand SurgeryPercutaneous distal radius-ulna pinning of distal radius fractures to prevent settling
2014, Journal of Hand SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Beumer et al4 also reported that posttraumatic positive ulnar variance was the most important factor in predicting bad outcomes in nonosteoporotic patients. Naidu et al6 reported that cross-pinning with 1 or 2 radial styloid pins and dorsal pins orthogonal to radial styloid pins was the most biomechanically favorable construct for distal radius pinning. Glickel et al1 stated that orthogonal cross-pinning (dorsoulnar pin) prevented “marked settling” of the fracture in their patients.
