Kirschner wires, or K-wires, are used for temporary fixation during some orthopedic operations. After definitive fixation, they should be removed.
Use K-wires to:
- Help rotate the proximal bone fragment
- Hold the rotated proximal bone fragment in place during the TPLO procedure
- Secure jig pin to the bone
- Hold the TPLO plate during placement
