Boxer's fracture

2018-05-29 19:11:29
I underwent K Wire surgery 3 weeks back. Surgery was done in Hyderabad. Now I am back to my home town. Need to continue treatment here. Need to know when would be the Wire removed. And is it required to get examined with x ray, periodically to check if it is healed ?

X-rays not required . Get wire removed at 6 weeks. Immobiliser your hand as 1wire is not stable enough. Also as the wire is antegrade, immobilisation is prime.
