Cerclage wire is used to fix bone fragments in fractures, especially in oblique or spiral fractures of long tubular bones or for stabilisation after heart surgery when the sternum is rejoined. It is a wire loop that is placed around the bone fragments and then tightened to press them together and stabilise them.
The cerclage wire is used to treat bone fractures for fracture fixation, especially if the fracture line is oblique or spiral.
The cerclage wire is used to supplement other procedures and is often used in combination with other osteosynthesis procedures, such as plate osteosynthesis or intramedullary nailing. The cerclage wire is used to ensure sufficient stability.
In paediatric surgery, the cerclage wire can be used for fractures that run across growth plates, so that growth is not impaired.
It is important to note that cerclage wire alone is often not sufficiently stable and is therefore usually only used in combination with other osteosynthesis procedures.
