PURPOSE: We evaluated the impact of angled derotational Kirschner wires (K-wires) on fracture gap reduction with variable-pitch headless screws.
METHODS: Fully threaded variable-pitch headless screws (20 and 28 mm) were inserted into "normal" bone models of polyurethane blocks. In separate trials, derotational K-wires were inserted at predetermined angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, and 40° and compared with each other, with no K-wire as a control. Fluoroscopic images taken after each screw turn were analyzed. The optimal fracture gap closure, initial screw push-off, and screw back-out gap creation were determined and compared at various derotational K-wire angles.
RESULTS: Initial screw push-off due to screw insertion and screw back-out gap creation were not significantly affected by the angle of the derotational K-wire. With a 20-mm screw, only a 40° derotational K-wire led to significantly less gap closure compared with control and with 0°, 15°, and 30° derotational K-wires. It led to an approximately 60% decrease in gap closure compared with no K-wire. With the 28-mm screw, compared with no K-wire, 15° and 30° derotational K-wires led to statistically significant decreases in gap closure (approximately 25%), whereas a 40° derotational K-wire led to an approximately 60% decrease. With the 28-mm screw, the 40° derotational K-wire also led to a statistically significant smaller gap closure when compared with 0°, 15°, and 30° derotational K-wires.
CONCLUSIONS: A derotational K-wire placed in parallel to the planned trajectory of a headless compression screw does not affect fracture gap closure. With greater angulation of the derotational K-wire, the fracture gap is still closed, but less tightly.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Derotational K-wires can help prevent fracture fragment rotation during headless compression screw insertion. At small deviations from parallel (≤30°), fracture gap closure achieved by the screw is minimally affected. At greater angles (ie, 40°), fracture gap closure may be substantially reduced, preventing fracture compression.
