[Reduction and fixation of fractures of the neck of the radious be centro-medullary pinning. Original technic].

Fractures of the neck of the radius may cause considerable permanent limitation of elbow and forearm movement. This complications resulted from failure to achieve adequate reduction or from vascular disturbance. The authors make use of a Kirschner wire introduced in the medullary canal by its lower end. It is possible to reduce and stabilise the head of the radius without open reduction.
