K-wires passed across the acromioclavicular (AC) joint in the shoulder have been found to migrate into the chest with the potential to penetrate the major blood vessels, the trachea, [3] lung, [4] or the heart. [5] For hand fracture fixation, whether K-wires should be buried or left protruding from the skin remains a topic of debate [6] and ...
Tension band fixation is the most common form of internal fixation used for non-comminuted olecranon fractures. [5] It is typically reserved for noncomminuted fractures that are proximal to the coronoid. [2] This procedure is performed using Kirschner wire (K-wires) which converts tensile forces into compressive force. [2]
A tension band wire is a form of orthopaedic internal fixation [1] method used to convert distraction forces into compression forces, promoting bone healing. [ citation needed ] Olecranon fracture
External fixation is a surgical treatment wherein Kirschner pins and wires are inserted and affixed into bone and then exit the body to be attached to an external apparatus composed of rings and threaded rods — the Ilizarov apparatus, the Taylor Spatial Frame, and the Octopod External Fixator — which immobilises the damaged limb to facilitate healing.

A suzuki frame being used in the treatment of an injured ring (fourth) finger. The Suzuki frame is a medical device, used for helping heal broken fingers, especially those with deep, complex intra-articular fractures.
An intramedullary rod, also known as an intramedullary nail (IM nail) or inter-locking nail or Küntscher nail (without proximal or distal fixation), is a metal rod forced into the medullary cavity of a bone. IM nails have long been used to treat fractures of long bones of the body.
Implant that has been used for fixation of a broken wrist. Closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) is reduction without any open surgery, followed by internal fixation. It appears to be an acceptable alternative in unstable distressed lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children, but if fracture displacement after closed reduction exceeds 2 mm, open reduction and internal fixation ...
