Single or double Kirschner wire fixation: which provides better outcomes for pediatric proximal phalanx base fractures?

CONCLUSION: The single K-wire technique demonstrates similar effectiveness to the double K-wire technique in treating pediatric proximal phalanx base fractures, with the added benefit of shorter operation time. Therefore, the choice between using one or two K-wires should be determined based on the surgeon's proficiency and preference.PMID:37655793 | DOI:10.2340/jphs.v58.13425
