Abstract:
Centromedullary pinning provides an excellent alternative to open reduction in severely displaced radial neck fractures. It has a low complication rate because it is an extra-articular and minimally invasive technique. The functional results have been shown to be good or excellent in most cases. The technique is described clearly in the literature but has posed us with certain difficulties. We present a useful technical tip on performing centromedullary pinning based on our experience of treating radial neck fractures by this method.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
