Buried versus exposed wires in hand and wrist fractures

This study looks at the best way to use wires (K-wires) to fix broken hand or wrist bones. It compares leaving the wire ends outside the skin versus burying them underneath to see which method leads to fewer infections and if there's a difference in healing.
