H J Gyrtrup, and L Fosse

This paper reports a case history in which a diaphysial radius fracture was treated by internal fixation with a spade tipped Kirschner wire. After one year, attempted removal of the spade tipped K-wire was unsuccessful. It is recommended that trocar tipped K-wire be used in patients with delicate bones and in bones of children.
