Intrafocal Pinning in Distal Extraarticular Radius Fracture: A Retrospective Study Based on Patient Age
The percutaneous intrafocal pinning fixation technique exposes a high risk of complications, especially for those older than 50 years, for whom this technique should be avoided. Overall, due to the frequency of secondary displacements encountered, our first-line treatment favors plate osteosynthesis for all patients. Pinning fixation should only be considered with caution in younger patients if plate osteosynthesis is not possible, but it requires a strict 6-week immobilization. The fracture morphology must also be considered.
