Cannulated screw guide wires can be lost during drilling and tapping. A simple technique is presented to secure the guide wire, preventing accidental removal during surgical procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Surgical instrumentation

Background:

  • Cannulated screw systems are widely used in orthopedic surgery.
  • Accidental removal of guide wires during drilling or tapping can complicate surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple and effective technique for securing guide wires during the use of cannulated drills and taps.
  • To prevent inadvertent removal of guide wires during orthopedic screw fixation.

Main Methods:

  • A straightforward method for stabilizing guide wires is detailed.
  • The technique involves ensuring the guide wire remains fixed during sequential drilling and tapping operations.

Main Results:

  • The described technique successfully prevents the accidental dislodgement of guide wires.
