The fall resulted in a fracture of the radius bone in her wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a very common type of fracture. In the past, this type of fracture required open surgery with a plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, major surgery is mostly unnecessary in cases like this. The treatment is still a surgery, but we call it <strong>pinning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this patient, we used <strong>K-wire pinning<\/strong> to hold the fracture in the proper position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-7.png 1672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Did the Wrist Fracture Need Fixation?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After giving local anesthesia, we applied traction and counter-traction to reduce the fracture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fracture reduced nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if we leave it like this, it will not stay in position. So, we need to fix it by inserting wires so that it stays in the proper position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why we used <strong>K-wire fixation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is K-Wire Pinning?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>K-wire pinning<\/strong> is the procedure we use to hold the fractured bone in the proper position with wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We administer local anesthesia, use a C-arm X-ray machine to guide the procedure, and insert the K-wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wires remain protruding outside the wrist temporarily. Once the fracture becomes sticky and healing is well underway, we remove them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We describe this as a keyhole surgery, and patients do not need to be afraid of the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do We Perform K-Wire Fixation?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We follow a step-by-step process during the procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Step<\/td><td>What We Do<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Local anesthesia<\/strong><\/td><td>We administer local anesthesia before starting the procedure.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fracture reduction<\/strong><\/td><td>We apply traction and counter-traction to reduce the fracture.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>C-arm guidance<\/strong><\/td><td>We use the X-ray machine to guide the procedure.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>K-wire insertion<\/strong><\/td><td>We insert the wire to hold the fracture in the proper position.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Reduction check<\/strong><\/td><td>We check the reduction after introducing the wire.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Stable fixation<\/strong><\/td><td>We confirm that the fixation is stable.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Procedure completion<\/strong><\/td><td>Two wires remain protruding outside the wrist.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-8-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-8-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-8-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-8-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-8-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/muthuhospitals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image-8.png 1774w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use the C-arm while inserting the wire so that we can guide its position with X-ray assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we successfully introduce the wire, we check the reduction. In this case, the reduction was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Long Does the K-Wire Surgery Take?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure takes roughly <strong>10 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We first give local anesthesia, reduce the fracture, insert the K-wire under X-ray guidance and check the fixation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The patient remains under local anesthesia during the procedure, so they do not feel pain during the wire insertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Long Do the K-Wires Stay in the Wrist?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The K-wires remain in place while the fracture heals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We initially explain that we remove them after <strong>21 days<\/strong>. We also explain that the two wires can stay for approximately <strong>21 to 30 days until the bone heals properly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the fracture becomes sticky and healing is well underway, we remove the wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Happens After Wrist Pinning Surgery?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the fixation, we keep the wrist stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not allow <strong>wrist movements<\/strong>, but <strong>finger movements are permitted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two wires remain outside the wrist during the healing period. Once the bone heals properly, we remove the wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Is Radius Fracture Surgery Different From Earlier Plate Surgery?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, this type of fracture required open surgery with a plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, we used <strong>K-wire pinning<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The K-wires hold the fracture in the proper position while the bone heals. We also use the C-arm X-ray machine to guide the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Mithran describes this approach as a keyhole surgery that helps avoid major surgery in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Distal Radius Fracture Surgery in Madurai<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case involved <strong>distal radius fracture surgery in Madurai<\/strong> at <strong>Muthu Hospital Madurai<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We treated the patient&#8217;s radius fracture using K-wire pinning. We gave local anesthesia, reduced the fracture using traction and counter-traction, and used C-arm X-ray guidance while inserting the wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muthu Hospital has been a pioneer in Orthopaedics since <strong>1953<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have suffered a wrist fracture, an orthopedic consultation can help assess the fracture and determine the appropriate treatment approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions About Distal Radius Fracture Surgery<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is K-wire pinning?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>K-wire pinning<\/strong> uses wires to hold a fractured bone in the proper position while it heals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do we use K-wire fixation for a wrist fracture?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, the fracture would not stay in position after reduction. So, we inserted wires to keep the fracture in the proper position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long does K-wire surgery take?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure takes roughly <strong>10 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does K-wire surgery cause pain?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We perform the procedure under <strong>local anesthesia<\/strong>, so the patient does not feel pain during the wire insertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long do K-wires stay in the wrist?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wires stay for approximately <strong>21\u201330 days<\/strong> until the bone heals properly. We then remove them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can we move the fingers after wrist pinning surgery?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. We do not allow wrist movements, but <strong>finger movements are permitted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do we use a C-arm during K-wire fixation?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use the C-arm X-ray machine to guide the wire insertion and check the position of the fracture during the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is broken wrist surgery?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, <strong>broken wrist surgery<\/strong> refers to the K-wire pinning procedure we use to hold the fractured radius in the proper position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where can we get wrist fracture surgery in Madurai?<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muthu Hospital Madurai<\/strong> provides orthopedic care in Madurai.
