Illustration of two-DIOW method. A twofold stainless wire was passed through the same drill holes for cerclage wiring and then the looped end was removed. One or two C-wire should be pulled out retrogradely and distally from the resected articular surface. B One of the two wires was tensioned and twisted at a lateral side of the bones. C Another wire was placed at the dorsal aspect to make a cross with the same wire on the other side and then twisted. D Advance the C-wire from distal to proximal, penetrating the bone cortex
