title: [A manual boring device for Kirschner wires].
abstract: A new surgical instrument is presented that is designed for manual placement of Kirschner wires. Its construction is based on that of a micro-screwdriver. The whole instrument is cannulated for wires of any length up to a gauge of 1.2 mm. This instrument facilitates smooth placement of Kirschner wires in difficult situations, especially in hand surgery.
