The Kirschner wire, or K-wire, is a thin pin made of implant steel or titanium. The Kirschner wire is used in orthopaedics and trauma surgery to fix bone fragments in fractures or to stabilise joints. It is used minimally invasively and serves to temporarily guide or stabilise bones until natural healing sets in.
The Kirschner wire is inserted into the bone during an operation to fix bone fragments and hold them in the correct position.
