Pinning in Traumatology

Pinning in traumatology is one of the most effective methods of osteosynthesis, which allows you to quickly and reliably fix bone fragments in the correct position. In this case, bone fragments are fixed by introducing a special pin into the medullary cavity, made from auto- (the patient’s own bone) or allo- (natural material obtained from donor bone) bone, as well as from metal or other materials.

Pinning is widely used for fractures of extremity bones, especially for fractures of long bones such as the femur, humerus, etc. This method helps ensure stability of the fracture, prevent displacement of fragments and speed up the healing process.

When performing pinning, various methods of fixing bone fragments are used. One of the most common methods is intramedullary osteosynthesis, when the pin is inserted directly into the medullary canal. This method provides maximum fracture stability and avoids complications associated with external sutures.

However, when using pins, it is necessary to take into account possible complications, such as infection, allergic reactions, material rejection, etc. Therefore, before pinning, it is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnosis and choose the optimal treatment method, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.

Pinning is a surgical method of fixing bone fragments during surgery to prevent further displacement and strengthen the bone structure. This is one of the methods of osteosynthesis. Osteosynthesis is the process of connecting damaged bone by creating a strong artificial support. It can be used both in the case of removal of bone processes to eliminate defects and their further restoration (for example, in fractures), and to improve functions
