title: [Osteosynthesis of proximal radius fractures using polydioxanone pins].
abstract: Over a two year period 6 children with a proximal radius fracture were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with Polydioxanon-pins. We discuss the indications for operative treatment and the technique of internal fixation with 3 resorbable pins.
