[The closed method of intramedullary fixation of forearm fractures]

The authors demonstrate a group of 27 patients subjected to intramedullary osteosynthesis of the forearm by means of Kirschner wires, using closed surgery. They prefer the described method in patients suffering from multiple injuries who have devastated soft parts of the forearm and in unstable fractures in children. The authors draw attention to the fact that they have achieved very good results by the simple surgical method they described.
