What are the Uses of Kirschner Wire & Pin?
Pins are versatile and are usually helpful for internal fixation. A pin has a comparatively small diameter and is inserted through the soft tissue and bone with comparatively little trauma. A Kirschner wire is inserted with a power drill as well as a guidance system. The soft tissues tend to wind round the Kirschner wire at the time of insertion and must always be protected. Several types of guides are in use: a telescoping guide linked to the drill, or an external guide with a handle are common orthopedic Instruments. A power drill with a quick locking and release mechanism save considerable time and is also suitable for insertion of Kirschner wire from the barrel of the drill, that doubles as a guide.
