In the presence of an area of extensive dorsal comminution percutaneous pinning is indicated in a typical distal radius fracture (Colles). It enlarges the stability and thus helps avoiding a secondary dislocation of the fracture. Indication and technique of this procedure are discussed following a series of 66 patients. Typical mistakes are as follows: insufficient reduction, poor diverging of the K-wires and improper anchoring in the opposite cortex. Avoiding of these possible faults leads to good final results. Flexion fractures and extensive shattering of the bone are contraindications for percutaneous pinning of these fractures.
