What are K Wires?
K wires (Kirschner wires) are thin, sterile, stainless steel wires used in orthopaedic surgery to stabilize fractures or hold bones in place while they heal. They are commonly used in procedures involving the hand, wrist, foot, ankle, and other small bones. K wires are typically removed once the bone has healed, usually 4-8 weeks after the initial surgery.
K wire removal is a simple, quick procedure performed in the clinic or operating room under local anaesthesia. The wire is gently pulled out from the skin and bone. Doctor247 connects you with experienced orthopaedic surgeons for safe, effective K wire removal in Bangalore.
Overview
- Complete bone healing confirmed by X-ray
- At the scheduled time for removal (usually 4-8 weeks after insertion)
