title: [Bore wire osteosynthesis in distal radius fracture].
abstract: Treatment results and complications of 404 percutaneous drill wire fixations in patients with dislocated radial fracture of typical situation will be reported. The most frequent complications were secondary impression of fracture, transient paraesthesia as well as perforation through the skin by drill wire. There was no case of osteitis or pseudo-arthrosis. Treatment results were judged excellent or good in 84% of cases, satisfactory in 11% and poor in 5%. For dislocated wrist fractures and for elderly patients osteosynthesis with percutaneous drill wire according to Willenegger is superior to non-operative procedures.
