From: Treatment of reducible unstable fractures of the distal radius in adults: a randomised controlled trial of De Palma percutaneous pinning versus bridging external fixation

Figure 1

Modified De Palma technique of percutaneous pinning. A. Patient n° 62. Female, 58 years old. Radiograph preoperative in front view. B. Lateral view. C. The fracture of the radius is fixed using the ulna as a support. In the coronal plane we directed the convergent pins towards the styloid process of the radius. D. In the sagittal plane we directed the pin in diverging directions(dorsal and volar). E. Above elbow cast applied post-operative.
